Reseeding the men's March Madness Elite Eight

Sometimes, the NCAA tournament is full of surprises. And then there are years like this.

All of the 1-seeds will watch the Elite Eight from home. All of them.

The West Coast Conference, the Mountain West and Conference USA are still alive. The Big Ten and SEC, which combined to earn 16 bids in the NCAA tournament, have both been eliminated.

The national champion this year will not be higher than a 2-seed and could be as low as a 9-seed. Just one of the remaining teams has won it before. Nothing has made sense.

With that premise, we make our last attempt to reseed the field and all the chaos attached to it.
