After handling Arcade Fire, Deryck Whibley has eyes on Sweet 16. By James Montgomery Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley Photo: Tim Mosenfelder/ Getty No band has shaken up the 2011 Musical March Madness tournament quite like Sum 41 , the Canadian punk quartet that entered the fray as a lowly #16 seed, then proceeded to run roughshod over heavily favored #1 Arcade Fire in the tourney’s opening round . Now, it’s on to the second round , where Sum faces the unenviable task of taking down another titan: 8th-seeded Coldplay. And with voting now open in the matchup, MTV News decided to ask Sum frontman Deryck Whibley what he thinks about his band’s chances. Can they shock the world once again and earn a berth in the Sweet 16? Turns out, even he’s not sure — mostly because he hasn’t been paying much attention.
