Knock 'Em All Out in March Madness: Dominate Mid-Major Mysteries!

Yahoo Sports

Michigan is the top seed in Midwest Region, though plenty of March Madness could pop up in this bracket.

The Michigan Wolverines appeared to be one of the teams to fear in the NCAA Men's Tournament . Then, they lost to Purdue in the Big Ten tournament final. A mere hiccup, or could this be an ominous sign entering the Big Dance?

One point to focus on is the success -- or more likely lack of it -- by many of the seeds against Top 25 teams. Michigan handled itself quite well, winning 9 of 11 such games. The rest of the region was not as good.
