Power Sweet 16 Rankings

Wow. What a week. Only five of the teams that were in these rankings last week didn’t lose at least one game this past week. Moreover, five of the teams didn’t even win a game this week. Needless to say, there will be a major shake-up in the Power Sweet 16 Rankings this week – but how far will teams fall? With so many teams losing, will the losing teams even drop that much? Check it out below. Note: This will be the final Power Sweet 16 Rankings of the season – next week I will start complete Bracket Breakdowns.
