March Madness: Ranking the 68 teams in the NCAA Tournament field

March Madness is upon us. The 68 teams have been selected, seeded, and bracketed. Yet, just how good is each team relative to the rest of the field?

The NCAA Tournament is upon us. After months and months of waiting, we have finally arrived at the greatest part of the college basketball season. For millions of fans around the world, filling out brackets is an annual tradition that usually ends in red faces and shredded or crumpled pieces of paper. Of course, it could also in triumph and a wad of cash being exchanged.

However, this event is about more than the fans. For every college basketball player in the country, this is the culmination of hours upon hours of hard work. It is the fulfillment of childhood dreams and an opportunity of a lifetime to compete in. After 351 teams spend the last several months battling it out on the hardwood, the field has been narrowed down to just 68.

In just a few weeks, a national champion will be crowned and we will have to wait another few months until the college basketball season gets back underway. For now, though, us fans can only celebrate the great play on the court as we root for our respective teams. Even if your favorite team is not competing in the Big Dance, at least you have your bracket to cheer for.

Now, with the bracket finally announced, let’s jump into my rankings of the entire field of 68. (All efficiency rankings are found on KenPom and all other statistics are from Sports-Reference.)

(These are, of course, my opinion and therefore will be disagreed with by just about anyone and everyone. But hey, that’s what makes it fun, right?)
