The greatest event in sports has returned, and returned to the format we all know and love. A year after the NCAAs were held in the confines of a quasi-bubble in Indianapolis, we know return to 68 teams spread across the country at 14 sites over three weeks. 

A big ol' bracket, the possibilities splitting out in a thousand directions over the horizon.

So ... who should you be considering to pick into the Sweet 16, Elite Eight, Final Four and title game? We've got just the thing for you. As always, I have ranked all 68 teams in the men's field. Each team capsule contains information and perspective on why these teams got here and who they are. I am not ranking off seeding or team résumés. This is a listing based off of team quality, talent, depth, coaching and where teams fall in multiple metrics. 

Here's the 2022 men's NCAA Tournament, ranked from No. 1-68.
