Power Sweet 16 Rankings

After an exciting weekend, with plenty of top-25 teams involved in tight match-ups throughout the week. Moreover, seven top-25 squads – and five Power Sweet 16 teams – lost over the weekend, causing plenty of shake-ups in the Power Sweet 16 Rankings for this week. Let’s see how the recent results have affected the rankings. Note: I will post the rankings every Sunday until I begin to release complete brackets in February.
