Top 10 Biggest March Madness Upsets
You thought your bracket was solid. Then a school you've never heard of takes out a top seed and suddenly your Final Four dreams are in shambles. Welcome to March Madness, where logic goes to die and chaos signs autographs at center court.Every year, fans watch in disbelief as double-digit seeds punch far above their weight, toppling teams that supposedly had a clear shot at the title. It's not just about bad nights or off shooting. These are games that rewrite expectations in real time. Players you couldn't name yesterday suddenly look like world-beaters. And coaches from tiny schools with gymnasiums smaller than most high school arenas start trending on Twitter.
Vote for the ones that left you speechless. The ones you still bring up in group chats. The ones that made history for no other reason than pure, unfiltered madness.

Absolutely insane. This upset was historic as a number 16 seed takes down the number 1 seed for the first time after going 0-135 previously. And this was the overall number 1 seed Virginia who completely rolled through the ACC and the conference tournament. How did this happen?
This one is hard for me to wrap my head around. Kansas should have won this game. I can't even think how this happened. What happened here? It's even worse because I'm a Kansas fan myself.

I've won my board at my old work 8 times out of 22. But this game put an early end to my board 2 tournaments ago. I had Izzo and his Spartans winning it all. It was an embarrassment for the MSU program.
What's worse, personally, is MTSU bounced my Gophers out last year, and the program is now reeling. With all the controversy at MSU recently, who knows what will happen next there?
It's funny I hated the green and white, and that was the year I believed they would win it all. Thank God I was wrong, though. It made the tournament more fun for me with the unpredictability it always delivers.
FGCU was only in its second year of tournament eligibility after moving to Division 1. They made a statement and earned the nickname Dunk City. They then beat San Diego State, becoming the first 15 seed to advance to the Sweet 16.

Norfolk State made its first tournament appearance and outplayed a good Mizzou team. The Tigers could have avoided the upset, but they missed the buzzer beater.
The Newcomers
In the second round, a 15th seed? Oral Roberts did just that.
This was only the beginning of the Shockers' crazy Final Four run in 2013. Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet were a dynamic duo and the key reason why they went so far before losing to Louisville. However, since Louisville recently had wins vacated, including the 2013 championship due to a scandal, Wichita State would now technically be in that championship game. I would bet that Wichita State could beat Louisville in a rematch, either with the 2013 teams or the 2017-18 teams.
Wichita State wasn't only a number 1 seed, they were undefeated until this.
Very unfortunate way to end the perfect season. Ironic that they got all the way to the Final Four as a 9 seed but couldn't get out of the second (then called third) round as a number 1.
The craziness of March.
Being a Championship game, the seedings represent their regional seeds. A total shock, even at the end, no one I was watching the game with expected the Wolfpack to beat mighty Phi Slamma Jamma. Houston had an NBA Hall of Famer in Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler, a Naismith College Basketball Hall of Fame inductee.
Again, a Championship game. Villanova had to shoot a blistering 77% in the second half, and 70% for the game, to topple a great Georgetown team.
