(AP) -- Brackets across the country are obliterated. Underdogs, meanwhile, keep moving on. 

No. 12 seed Cornell, No. 11 Washington and No. 10 Saint Mary's are the double-digit seeds that have put the madness in March, all advancing to the second week of the NCAA tournament. 

No. 9 Northern Iowa was the double-digit underdog that took apart the tournament favorite, Kansas, while No. 6 Xavier and No. 5 Butler were two of five mid-major teams that advanced. 

Americans love underdogs, but many fans who filled out brackets - either for pride or to win a few bucks in their office pool -
suffered after this kind of uprising. 

President Barack Obama was one of more than 2 million - that's 42.2 percent - who picked the Jayhawks to win the national title in their ESPN brackets and now find themselves relegated to also-rans.
