Ladies and gentleman, mentally prepare yourselves to get zero work done this week. Now that Selection Sunday has come and gone, the next piece of the beautiful spectacle known as March Madness is the actual games, which kick off on March 17. Happy St. Patrick's Day.

There were no huge surprises with the number one spots as Ohio State, Duke, Kansas and Pitt locked up the four top seeds. These squads will play out of the Southwest, West, East and Southeast respectively. Ohio State is the number one overall.

Among the surprise teams getting in were Clemson and UAB. The snubs included Colorado and Virginia Tech.

Kudos to Midwest Sports Fans for putting together the amazing schedule list below:
