Monday's Hot Clicks: March Madness Is Underdog and Upset Central
Are you the NCAA Tournament? Because you look upset
It's official: If your bracket still makes sense by this stage of the tournament, then you made your picks while blindfolded. The Sweet 16 is a mess of teams that aren't supposed to be there: two 11 seeds (Loyola-Chicago and Syracuse), two nine seeds (Florida State and Kansas State) and two seven seeds (Nevada and Texas A&M) are among those still alive. There are as many double-digit seeded teams in the Sweet 16 as there are one seeds, and in the South region, No. 5 Kentucky is the highest-seeded team left, and both the South and West have lost their top two teams. And I have to say, if you've got a problem with this, then you're nuts. Usually, the tournament is a staid march of venerable title favorites, with one or two big teams getting upset along the way, but a good chunk of them surviving at least through the first two rounds. Now though? We're on the verge of pure chaos. So keep rooting for those low seeds, and let's see just how mad March can get.

That would be Jordan Peele responding to the folks who think he's Michigan's Jordan Poole. And hey, the kid was cool with it, too.
