Giant Killers Blog
Giant Killers is Insider's annual metrics-based forecast of NCAA tournament upsets. A Giant Killer is a team that beats a tourney opponent seeded at least five spots higher; schools from the BCS conferences, plus Gonzaga, Butler, BYU, Temple and Xavier (because of current or historical success) cannot be GKs. For a full explanation of the project, click here. For the GK Ratings, you'll have to check back after Selection Sunday to see which teams will take part in this season's most likely upsets.
