The old survive-and-advance adage, the football version anyway, has us down to 16 teams.
Yep, the Sweet 16 awaits in ESPN's 2023 fictional NCAA football tournament.
The early rounds have already provided a few shockers, not to mention some memorable moments and games. Both veterans and freshmen have stepped up to steer their teams to this point. All four No. 1 seeds are still alive: Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State and Alabama. The lowest remaining seed is No. 10 Pittsburgh.
To recap, the original seeds were based to some degree on ESPN's latest SP+ projections entering the 2023 season.
