And #2 seeds have been beaten in the first round in previous years. I would not suggest that it is always top heavy on the men's side. Of course many teams that are higher seeds are going to advance, but it not uncommon for them to get beat early either. I do not think the same can be said for the women's tournament and multiple teams have gone undefeated the entire year. That has not happen on the Men's side since the old UCLA teams with Wooden as the coach.

Wrong again. Try Indiana in 1976 being the last undefeated team and they went undefeated the previous year until the tourney.
