UPSETS FUEL THE FUN

Lower-seeded teams gain high profile in annual search for NCAA Cinderella

Even President Obama wants to show he can pick the right upsets. The commander in chief went with two No. 12 seeds to beat No. 5 seeds: Harvard over Cincinnati and North Dakota State over Oklahoma, both trendy upset choices in brackets nationwide.

Fans love to pull for the little guy — but it’s no fun being the forgotten big guys.
