This is not Madness…
It’s awkward time as we approach the 15th of March. A day also known as the Ides of March, in Ancient Rome the day was a celebration of Mars, their God of war, but was more famously the day of Julius Caesar’s untimely assassination and betrayal by the friends he considered close. On the 15th of March fans of NCAA College Basketball will be celebrating the famous ‘Ides’ in their own way. Yes, after the opening round of the First Four (the first four play-in games to enter the tournament’s overall field of 64 teams) the NCAA Tournament will officially begin. March Madness is the colloquial term for the time over the duration of the NCAA Tournament; where buzzer-beating shots regularly encroach on narrowly-lead teams and lesser known teams ordinarily poach off more commonly branded basketball. It is a time of passion, persistence and revelry in the arts of war; not unlike the ancient Roman’s celebrations of the God of war.

Oregon Ducks Solidify Themselves as No. 1
There’s no question, the Oregon Ducks solidified its status as the No. 1 team on my Associated Press ballot after its impressive 53-32 victory at USC Saturday.
In fact, the top five teams on my AP ballot — Oregon, Boise State, TCU, Auburn and Utah all remained the same as last week. I can guarantee that won’t be the case next week as TCU visits Utah on Saturday.
With losses by unbeatens Michigan State and Missouri, a plethora of one-loss teams all moved closer to the top of my NCAA AP ballot — No. 6 Wisconsin, No. 7 Alabama, No. 8 Nebraska, No. 9 Arizona, No. 10 Ohio State, No. 11 Oklahoma, No. 12 Stanford, No. 13 LSU and No. 14 Iowa.
Besides TCU visiting Utah, Alabama visits LSU in a game which will eliminate the loser from any national title aspirations.
Baylor, UCF and Hawaii made my Top 25 ballot for the first time this season as USC, Florida State and Miami all dropped out after losses last weekend.
