Reseeding the Sweet 16 field

— -- The NCAA's selection committee did a solid job of seeding the initial field. Most of the slots made sense. There were few, if any, teams that appeared to be seeded higher or lower than they deserved.

The pairings led to another thrilling first weekend and set up an intriguing Sweet 16. This year's field features three teams from both the Big Ten and Pac-12. Not surprising. But a Sweet 16 with three teams from the SEC -- Florida, Kentucky and Tennessee -- is certainly unexpected. Stanford and Dayton, both double-digit seeds, are still alive. Kansas, Duke, North Carolina, Wichita State and Syracuse are not.

That's the nature of the tournament. Anything can happen.

Now it's time to take another look at the last 16 teams. What if they were reseeded according to the competition they've faced and how they've performed in the opening rounds of the Big Dance? Well, let's try it. And remember: Every remaining program has already accomplished plenty. They're all good teams with a shot at the ultimate crown.
