Selection Sunday has finally arrived, and with it the 2024 NCAA men's basketball tournament field has been set.

After months of arguing about NCAA Evaluation Tool (NET) rankings, KenPom.com ratings, quadrant-based records, strengths of schedule and the like, none of that junk matters anymore.

There will, of course, be a few more hours or days of complaining about who got left out or unfairly seeded, but too bad, so sad. We've got our field, and it's time to move on to the real fun: picking the brackets.

And we have been researching the heck out of these 68 teams throughout Championship Week, in hopes of creating at least a little bit of a bracket-picking edge over someone who is just going to throw darts or make selections based on mascots.

Though, given the complete chaos that transpired in Champ Week, dart throwing and coin flipping is fully encouraged this year.

Based on a combination of player talent, current roster health, marquee wins, biggest weaknesses and a healthy dose of gut feeling/eye test, we have ranked all 68 NCAA tournament teams.

Generally speaking, if you're trying to decide which team to choose in a matchup, the higher-ranked team would be our suggestion. There are matchup-based exceptions to that rule of thumb, but the teams at the top of our list are the ones with the least troubling Achilles' heels. Thus, they are the ones most likely to reach the Final Four.

Before we dive in, a thank-you must be extended to Joel Reuter. B/R's MLB power rankings guru was a huge help and contributed to this piece amid spring training chaos. Since he lives in Big Ten country, he did the write-ups for each of those teams, as well as handful of the winners of the one-bid leagues.

One final note: Seeding/draw had nothing to do with these rankings.
