Last things first: We are now accepting nominations for the 2011 All-Giant Killers team. To be eligible, an athlete has to have played for a potential or actual Killer in this year's NCAA tournament. That's it. (If you need a refresher, check our definition of a Giant Killer to the right of this blog.) Cast your votes in the comments or by dropping us a line at the GK Mailbag.

To see the rest of Peter Keating's analysis of a potential Sweet 16 upset, you must be an ESPN Insider.
