The SEC regular season champion Auburn Tigers received the #1 overall seed in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, sitting at the top of the South Region. That comes despite losing to Tennessee in the semifinals of the SEC Tournament.
The other top seeds went to ACC regular season and conference tournament champion Duke (East), Big 12 regular season and tournament champion Houston (Midwest), and SEC conference tournament champion Florida (West).
Auburn is the only team that didn’t win its conference tournament but still secured a #1 seed, and they got the top overall spot.

Before the madness begins, here is how the Selection Committee stacked the full field of 68
The brackets have been released, and now begins one of the greatest traditions in sports.
Figuring out how to fill them out.
We will have you covered every single step of the way here at SB Nation, whether you are looking for trendy upset picks, a team in line for a deep Cinderella run, or any other means of filling out your selections over the next few days.
But if you are looking for pure chalk, this is the blog for you.
The state of Texas won’t be as busy as it was a year ago, as five teams from the Lone Star State had their names called on Selection Sunday, one fewer than last year.
That starts with Houston, which earned the expected No. 1 seed, and somewhat surprisingly ends with Texas, who defied many predictions and snagged a play-in spot in the First Four in Dayton, Ohio. As it turns out, the NCAA did need 14 SEC teams to fill out its 68-team field.

Here are our instant picks for the 2025 men’s NCAA tournament.
Change is hard, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing. That’s an important lesson to remember as it pertains to men’s college basketball entering another year of March Madness.
The college hoops landscape is almost unrecognizable from a few seasons ago. The days of FBI investigations and bag men are a thing of the past — these days, money changes hands between programs and players above-the-table with the advent of the transfer portal and the NIL.
Wisconsin basketball fell one minute short of a Big Ten Tournament title on Sunday afternoon, narrowly falling to the Michigan Wolverines 59-53.
The Badgers were plagued by poor shooting and the ball bouncing the wrong way in the final minute. They led 51-50 with the ball and 2:15 remaining. An empty offensive possession led to a Tre Donaldson three-pointer and a 53-51 Michigan lead. The game again drew even at 53 before Wolverines center Vladislav Goldin made two key free throws to put his team in front with 46 seconds left.
Houston earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament for the third straight year Sunday and will open against first-time qualifier SIU-Edwardsville in Wichita, Kansas, on Thursday.
The Cougars (30-4) have advanced to at least the second weekend of five straight NCAAs but were knocked out in the Sweet 16 the last two years.
Houston, assuming it beats the Ohio Valley Conference champion Cougars (22-11), would face a big challenge in the second round against the winner of an 8-9 matchup between Gonzaga (25-8) and Georgia (20-12).
Thursday games in Providence pit No.
March is here.
The NCAA men’s tournament bracket has been announced. It’s time to make your picks.
Whether you’re a die-hard hoops head, a casual or someone who’s never watched a college basketball game, there’s a decent chance you’ve been invited to fill out a bracket. If you’re in one of the latter camps and want to play, don’t be discouraged.
Brackets are for everyone, and just because you’re cramming doesn’t mean that you don’t have a chance.
