PrintI told you that Jackson the Mule was quietly confident. His upset pythag bracket ruled all yesterday. My bracket is tied with his only because I'm riding Jackson until the eyeball test diverges from the upset pythag. hal41605? Well, he's just awesome.
Despite all of the excellent upsets yesterday, straight pythag had a pretty good day. Perhaps the selection committee should learn the concept? Perhaps not, as it's quite early, and whole thing could jump the rails at any point. Anyway, here are your Top Ten after Day One:

i have 2 brackets
my RTT one was where i went riskier with more upsets, obviously a good thing yesterday.
over on music city miracles i went a little safer, but still had a pretty good day.

the st mary's nova upset
is the one i’ll be really proud of if it happens.

The UT Revenge Bracket went 11-5 yesterday
but not having Vanderbilt around so we can beat them in the Final Four might hurt
I was only 9-7 yesterday
And I’ve lost one already today. Not to mention I’ve lost three Sweet Sixteen teams (Temple, ND, and Vandy). Elite Eight is still intact though.

Hal really ruled day one
He’s in the picture on GVX. At least half of him is.
