I know, most folks do.

I'd prefer see a great Duke team take on a great Kentucky squad for a seat at the dance.

The upset is fun in real time, but the consequences are that a team that's ill-equipped to advance often gets piss-pounded.

I rarely root for upsets in football either. I didn't want to see LSU beat Alabama - as a college football fan, I want to see Alabama vs. FSU in the national championship. That's a damn compelling matchup. As a Mizzou fan I'd like to see us upset a team or two, but that's wearing my Mizzou hat.

I recognize why people root for the underdog, I just hate the consequences. I want to see the most talented teams 'survive and advance'.
