We lost to Maryland

[Palatine]

Who lost to Alabama.
Who lost to UCLA.

If this continues,

UCLA will lose to Michigan.
Who will lose to the USC/Gonzaga winner
who will lose to the survivor of Baylor/Ark/ Ore St/Houston.

This has a pretty decent chance of happening.

I don't see Gonzaga going down, but I suppose it's plausible.

Just like there's only one winner in every Tournament, there is only one "Team Irrelevant", whose chain of opponents all lost, arguably the team furthest (in terms of "what if?") from winning it all.

It could be us.

Wait til next year.

I think I could put together a chain like the OP that describes my connection to this GIF, but not even the only person I know who would follow it would find it hugely interesting, even though I'll still tell her.
