CBS Sports reseeded the Sweet 16 field: http://www.cbssports.com/collegebas...-ranking-the-teams-remaining-for-the-sweet-16

What a weekend. It was one of the best first weekends of the NCAA Tournament I can remember, with a handful of double-digit upsets, dozens of down-to-the-wire games, winning shots in the final seconds, marquee performances -- everything you could ask for from the past 96 hours. And now, we can begin to look ahead. But it's time to rethink our analysis of these teams, too. We ranked all 68 teams at the start of the NCAA Tournament; now we're going to adjust that based on what we saw from the Round of 64 and Round of 32 (and in Tennessee's case, the First Four).

Pretty amusing that every B1G woman's team is still in... 5 of the 32.. 6 if we include Maryand
Awfully good odds both NCAA champs will come from B1G
In fact both NIT champs could be B1G also.. women have 4 left.. 5 if we include Rutgers
Problem is that they put 3 B1G womens teams in same bracket

Huh? Even if you ignore the actual probability of each team winning and give them all an equal chance, the probability of the B1G having a winner in both is 2.3%. Much, much, much smaller than that when you factor that the women's side is probably closer to 0% when factoring in the actual probability of them winning (highest seed is #3 when in women's basketball there are very few upsets when compared to men's basketball).

the other problem is that UConn isn't in the B1G.

Basically a big ten and big 12 bashing. Tennessee so highly ranked when they had the easiest path. Kentucky was sitting at by far the easiest path for an 8. Heck they had an easier path than most 6 or 7 seeds. What a joke. Meanwhile ttun basically told Texas to bend over and enjoy it. At least ttun lubed up, chreighton got no such love from Baylor. Iowa state getting no credit. I haven't seen anything from Louisville to make me think they could beat any of the other 15.

Who cares? OSU's out of the tournament, so I couldn't care less about whether the Big Ten is getting any love. As far as I'm concerned, the sooner Wisconsin and Michigan are bounced, the better.

That would be real nice because it would speak volumes of how good our conference was this past season and would justify all the SEC SEC ACC ACC lovers talking points. If I had a thought like yours. I would probably keep it to myself.
As the man from New Jersey would say you should have a banner if you are going to make posts as ridiculous as that. @NJ-Buckeye
