Eh, the first round is mainly just damage control, the games aren't worth much for points, you just don't want to lose any of your heavy hitters. It is strange how common upsets are in that 12/5 slot though, seems every year there are a couple of them. I did have Oregon over OSU, but that's the only one. I try not to get carried away by picking upsets in these, I've been burned by that too many times.
