After a memorable first weekend of the NCAA tournament, how would the seeding change if we re-seeded the teams?

What a first weekend it was. There were upsets, big shots, tears, cheers, and lots of fouls called.

Michigan State, one of the title favorites, went down in the round of 64 to 15-seeded Middle Tennessee in what many are calling the biggest upset in the history of the tournament. Plenty of other teams that experts thought would make a run, such as Xavier, West Virginia, Utah, and Cal, lost as well.

It’s madness, I tell you!

Thus, the Sweet 16 is littered with high seeded teams. Syracuse, who wasn’t even supposed to be in the tournament, according to some, Wisconsin, Gonzaga, and Notre Dame, in particular, come as a surprise to many.

Based on how some of these teams are playing, it might be more beneficial for the top-seeds to want to do a re-seeding once the tournament gets to the Sweet 16. It will never happen, but I’m pretty sure North Carolina would much rather play a team like Syracuse than Indiana, seeing that Indiana is playing the best basketball they’ve played since Victor Oladipo was on campus.

Anyway, I’ll go ahead and re-seed the teams here just for fun. Because quite frankly, we all have nothing better to do but twiddle our thumbs as we wait for Thursday night to come and the tournament to resume once again.
