Every team in the NCAA Tournament controls their own destiny. Regardless of their seeding, they have a shot to win it all, and while talent generally dictates the outcome of the tournament, some seeds have punched above their weight, while others have lived up or down to expectations. Here are the best teams ever by seed.
(Note: You will probably notice that most of the teams in this ranking came after 1985. That is because the NCAA Tournament did not expand from 12 to 16 seeds until then. Prior to the expansion, many of the top-tier seeds also received first-round byes, which automatically disqualifies them from this list.
