I don't like that 6th spot, last year, we were the only 6 seed to win a game.
I'd rather play a 12th seed play in team, who has no business being there; than the 11th seed team, who just hit a slump and may come out of it.

People get hung up on the fact that 12's have had a good amount of success against 5 seeds, but never really think about that 11's have had just as much success against 6 seeds. 12/5 gets more talk because it is a "bigger" upset, and it is the biggest upset that happens on a regular basis. Going from 13/4 on down it just happens far less.

Of course I think UC can play their way up to the 2/3 line. So that is what I am rooting for.
