Here's the latest projected March Madness bracket, including No. 1 seeds, the last four teams in and the first four out of the NCAA Tournament

The SEC/ACC Challenge ended up 14-2 in the SEC’s favor this year. The men’s NCAA Tournament bid disparity could end up almost that bad — a record-smashing 14 SEC teams in the field of 68 because Arkansas keeps rising, and a match of the ACC’s lowest all-time output of three because North Carolina, Wake Forest and Pitt can’t do enough late.

The SEC has three No. 1 seeds in Sporting News latest projections for the 2025 NCAA men's basketball tournament – and there is another team in the hunt.  Auburn, Alabama and Tennessee all are No. 1 seeds in our Field of 68.

Cougars are behind Alabama, Auburn, Duke and Florida in the NCAA selection committee's projected bracket a month ahead of March Madness.
