Exactly.
It's kinda like a tennis tournament...the high seeded players tend to win a couple of rounds before they get challenged.
And also, we may only get about one upset of a 1-3 seed a year -- but that doesn't mean we don't get another scare or two. This year has been relatively light on upsets so far though.
Also, I should hasten to add...blowouts happen in the tournament even with two fairly evenly matched teams. Utah State was a trendy "upset" pick (a 10 over a 7 isn't really that much of an upset normally). UCLA threw them down an elevator shaft last night.
