We all know March Madness is well… madness, every year.

But this year, more so than ever, the hoops hysteria has reached new heights.

While upsets abound seemingly every tournament, usually a couple top seeds survive the carnage and make it out of the fray.

Not so this year, as it was the first time that a single No. 1 seed did not make it to the Elite 8.

Alright, well how about those trustworthy No. 2 and No. 3 seeds then?

Also departed. It is the first tournament since 1979 where the Final Four schools were all seeded No. 4 or lower.

So, as we watch No. 9 Florida Atlantic battle No. 5 San Diego State and No. 5 Miami take on No. 4 UConn this weekend, we will do so knowing that we are watching the unlikeliest quartet of college competitors maybe EVER.

Embrace the beauty of the madness.
