March Madness Among Us

This week kicks off arguably the most exciting event on the sports calendar: the NCAA Tournament, where unabashed passion and true grittiness mean any team can win (or lose) and grown men weep openly -- and that's just during the office pool.

North Carolina earned a No. 1 seed in the East, its 11th No. 1 nod and the most of any school all-time -- surpassing Duke (10) and Kentucky (9), neither of which will earn top seeds this year after average seasons. Kansas , a No. 1 seed in the West Region, made up some ground by earning its 7th No. 1 seed all-time. Ohio State and defending national champion Florida are the No. 1 seeds in the South and Midwest regions, respectively.
