Here's how the NCAA teams stack up entering Sweet 16

Sweet 16.

Has a nice ring, doesn't it?

The NCAA has made probably billions off marketing numbers with a little alliteration.

First Four, Sweet 16, Elite Eight, Final Four.

The NCAA tournament is quite a show.

And it was quite a show to get to the 16 teams left in the tournament.

Who's the best? Here's a look at where I think they stand:

 1. Kentucky (Midwest, No. 1 seed): Still the team to beat.

2. Arizona (West, 2): Gotta love Sean Miller as the coach. Unfortunately for the Wildcats, they would meet Kentucky in the national semifinal.

3. Duke (South, 1): Clear path to Final Four. The Blue Devils play Utah then would get UCLA-Gonzaga winner.

4. Wisconsin (West, 1): No. 1 seed, but they could be in trouble against Arizona in regional final.

5. Louisville (East, 5): Wow. Did the East open up or what with the loss of No. 1 Villanova and No. 2 Virginia? Louisville can beat N.C. State then would meet Oklahoma-Michigan State winner.

6. Michigan State (East, 7): Yeah, I like this low seed. First, they were seeded too low by the selection committee. Second, the Spartans just know how to win in March.

7. Wichita State (Midwest, 7): Shocked? I'm not. They can play. Too bad they would meet Kentucky in the regional final.

8. Oklahoma (East, 3): Wow, it sure is easy to overlook the Sooners. They're the highest seed left in the East.

9. Notre Dame (Midwest, 3): I think they'll lose to Wichita State next, but they're a good team.

10. UCLA (South, 11): The Bruins advanced after a very controversial call. Teams that get a break like that sometimes go on a run. They can beat Gonzaga next.

11. Gonzaga (South, 2): Speaking of Gonzaga, they never seem to live up to their seeding. I'm thinking they lose to UCLA next.

12. North Carolina (West, 4): Don't think they'll beat Wisconsin.

13. N.C. State: (East, 8): They have a shot against Louisville, but I think the Wolfpack's run ends.

14. Xavier (West, 6): Just don't see them getting by Arizona in their next matchup.

15. West Virginia (Midwest, 5): Let's gooooo, Mountaineers. Well, the run ends against Kentucky.

16. Utah (South 5): Team I think has the least chance to win (they play Duke).

Who do you think can beat Kentucky?

Are the Steelers the team no one wants to face?

Embed from Getty Images There's a label attached to the Steelers this postseason: The team no one wants to face. Don't buy it? Monday Morning QB thinks so . Andy Benoit says an explosive passing game and creative defense makes Pittsburgh the most dangerous team in the AFC. I don't think the Ravens had any problems facing the Steelers two weeks ago. But, hey, the Ravens aren't in the playoffs, right? The problem with the Steelers is the defense. They might be creative, as Benoit suggests, but they're also vulnerable to the big play. The team seems to play up -- or down -- to its competition. So, again, there are no Ravens in the playoffs, so they can't be accused of playing down. However, the Steelers have to like their chances with the Bengals on Saturday. One Vegas line on Sunday night had Pittsburgh as a small favorite. Does that mean the Steelers could play down to Cincy? I'm sure the Steelers will be fired up. And it is the po

It was a Burfict ending for the Steelers against the Bengals

Embed from Getty Images I've never seen an ending like that . Oh, sure, I've seen games play out like the scoring summary did from Saturday night's unbelievable wild-card game. Steelers take a 15-0 lead. It looks like they have the game in hand. The Bengals take the lead late in the game. The Steelers win it with a field goal in the waning seconds. That doesn't quite sum it up, does it? Not this game. Not the way it unfolded. Let's get back to the 15-0 part. Martavis Bryant gave the Steelers that lead with an incredible TD catch from Ben Roethlisberger. He actually caught it with his butt. I'm not sure how that was a football move -- but I digress. At that point, it looked like the Steelers were in control. Then Vontaze Burfict took over for the Bengals. Yeah, that guy. Burfict sacked Roethlisberger at the end of the third quarter, knocking Big Ben out of the game. Embed from Getty Images But all the Ste

Don't compare the Steelers to last year's playoff team

Embed from Getty Images I'm already hearing talk about this year's playoff is unfolding like last year. You know how that went: The Steelers lost their starting running back in Week 17, then lost in the wild-card round against a divisional opponent. This year, DeAngelo Williams was injured in Week 17. And the Steelers face a divisional opponent -- the Bengals. That's where it stops. Williams has a sprained ankle, and is considered day-to-day. They also face an opponent that has a rich history -- of losing in the postseason. That's not to suggest that this game is a gimmie and the Steelers should book a trip to Denver. This will present it's share of challenges, namely A.J. Green and tight end Tyler Eifert. The Steelers will need to slow them down, no matter who's throwing the ball. But, if A.J. McCarron is behind center, that should be in favor of the Steelers -- also something different from a year ago.
