Only 16 teams remain in the 2013 NCAA Tournament.

The first weekend of March Madness saw several upsets. Gonzaga, which entered the tourney atop both Top 25 polls, was bounced on Saturday by Wichita State. No.2 Georgetown didn’t get past their first game after losing to No.15 Florida Gulf Coast, and No.3 New Mexico were the victims of No.14 Harvard’s first-ever NCAA Tournament win.

Despite all of the unexpected victories, most of the favorites still have a chance to reach the Final Four in Atlanta. Louisville, Duke and Kansas cruised to the Sweet Sixteen. Indiana, Ohio State and Miami are alive after close matchups in the third round.

A few impressive performances have changed the landscape of who is expected to advance to the Elite 8 and then the Final Four. According to the online betting Web site Bovada, No.3 Florida has moved ahead of Indiana with the second-best odds to win the national championship. No.4 Michigan is also among the favorites to cut down the nets on April 8.

A few Cinderellas have already made history. FGCU become the first 15-seed to reach the Sweet Sixteen. LaSalle’s victory over Marshall Henderson and Ole Miss made them just the sixth 13-seed that was able to survive the opening weekend.
