Since the NCAA Tournament expanded to 64 teams (I'm not going to acknowledge that stupid 65th game) we've never had all four No. 1 ranked teams in the Final Four. I don't think that's overly shocking, considering the tournament has only been in the 64 team scenario for a little over 20 years. The truth is that the more games you make any team play in a one-and-out tournament, the more likely they are to eventually get knocked out.

But this year we're sitting on the verge of having four No. 1 seed in the Final Four for the first time in history. UCLA and UNC are already there, and today, both Kansas and Memphis have a chance to complete the sweep.

As much as I like Davidson, and will be rooting for them, I think their ride officially ends today. Kansas is probably the most athletic team in the nation not named Memphis, and despite the fact that Bill Self is coaching them, I still think they'll win relatively easily. That leaves Memphis, who has a the rather unenviable task of battling Texas. The one thing that continually makes me believe Memphis will win this game is that Rick Barnes is the coach on the opposing sideline.

While some people may not want to see an all-chalk Final Four, I'm not opposed to it at all - and it's not because I actually picked this scenario in one of my brackets.

Some years, because of the way the NCAA Tournament is set up, I'm left to wonder if the best team in the country really did win the Tourney that year. There have been times where the best team in the country nearly didn't win the Tourney. The best example I can give is the 1995 UCLA Bruins. They were clearly the best team in the country, and won the Tourney, but nearly lost in the second round to Missouri. A Tyus Edney coast-to-coast layup with 4.8 seconds left provided the difference.

There is also the flip side of the same argument. There are teams that basically came out of nowhere to win the NCAA Tournament because they got hot at the right time. But they clearly weren't the best team in college basketball. There are more than a few examples of this, but the one that sticks out in my mind was the 1997 Tourney where an underachieving Arizona squad suddenly blew through the Tournament and won it all.

Some people say that's what makes the Tournament so great, is that the best team doesn't always win it. And I agree with that for the most part.

But this year we have the opportunity to potentially see who really is the best team in all of basketball. We'd have three power conferences - ACC, Pac-10, Big-12 - and one team that blew away everyone it faced with the exception of Tennessee. I think there's something very cool about this. If all four No. 1's make it to the Final Four, we might have one of the most competitive Final Fours ever. Plus we'll get to see which one of these four teams - who continually traded the #1 ranking between each other throughout the season  - definitively become the best team in the land.

It's certainly not as fun as a big time upset run, but for top quality basketball, you can't argue with it.
