Power Sweet Sixteen Rankings

With two of the remaining three unbeatens losing over the weekend to teams already in the top-four seed lines, the Power Sweet Sixteen rankings obviously saw a major shakeup. Furthermore, six teams total in the rankings fell this past week. How much will those marquee games and upset losses affect the rankings? I will post the rankings every Sunday until I begin to release complete brackets in February.

- Standard bracketing rules apply (no two teams from the same conference in the same half-bracket, etc.)

- Numbers in parenthesis next to the team indicate what 1-16 ranking they are
