There have been a few close calls, but as far as I know a 16 seed has
never beaten a 1 seed.  The 2 and 3 seeds have been a lot more
vulnerable, and a 4 seed drops in the first round almost every year.

Having said that, I'm looking forward to Stanford blowing out
Princeton in the first round.  :-)
