Column: Re-seeding the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16
Ahh, March Madness.
There are upsets, there are surprises, and then there are the rare times when a school like Eastern Polytechnic Institute defeats a top-three seed to shake up the entire NCAA Tournament and college basketball world.
As it stands, a No. 1 seed (Villanova), two No. 2 seeds (Duke, Louisville) and a No. 3 seed (Florida State) have all been knocked out. So, with just 16 teams left that have a shot at winning a national title, let’s re-seed the top 10 teams, ranking the most likely winner to the team who really has no shot. (Or so we think.)
Honorable mentions go to the final six.
