NCAA Tournament 2018: Ranking remaining teams in Sweet 16

There are just 16 teams remaining in the 2018 NCAA Tournament and the Final Four is within reach. How do the final 16 teams rank?

What a crazy NCAA Tournament it’s been thus far. Two No. 1 seeds have already fallen victim to upsets as Virginia became the first ever to lose to a No. 16 seed in UMBC. Xavier was bounced in the round of 32 by Florida State, leaving the left side of the bracket in absolute shambles.

There are still a couple of No. 1 seeds remaining, but the wackiness is just beginning.

As for the No. 2 seeds, Cincinnati and North Carolina were also taken down in the second round while an Isaac Haas-less Purdue and Duke remain in the tourney, making the Sweet 16. The 3-seeds weren’t as lucky either, unless you’re talking about Michigan or Texas Tech. Both Tennessee and Michigan State lost to 11-seeds.

The regular season was truly a foreshadowing of what the NCAA Tournament would bring. There is no dominant team left in college basketball, but rather 16 solid ones looking to snag the crown.

With just 16 teams left, though, who is the best of the bunch? It’s tough to really say any is better than others because of how wild this tournament has been and it’s possible that the nation’s most talented team, or teams, have already been eliminated.

Let’s see how the 16 teams stack up with each other, in terms of remaining rank.
