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.\n\nBefore we dive in, a thank-you must be extended to [Joel Reuter](https://twitter.com/JoelReuterBR). Joel took the Big East and WCC teams this year, as well as about two-thirds of the champions from the one-bid leagues. If you see him on Twitter touting Hofstra or High Point as a sleeper, maybe take his word on it.\n\nOne final note: Seeding/draw had nothing to do with these rankings.\n\n## 68\\. Prairie View Panthers\n\n1 of 68\n\n![Southern v Prairie View A&M](https://gsp-image-cdn.wmsports.io/cms/prod/bleacher-report/getty_images/2026-03/2266553527_large_cropped.jpg)\n\nParas Griffin/Getty Images\n\nDontae Horne\n\n**Record**: 18-17 (9-9 in SWAC)\n\n**Star Player**: Dontae Horne struggled to find his shooting stroke in the SWAC title game, but he had scored at least 25 points in 10 of the previous 11 games, averaging better than 20 for the season. He also averages close to five rebounds, three assists and two steals per contest.\n\n**Biggest Wins**: Barely one month ago, PVA&M was 5-16 overall against D-I competition, and the Panthers never did beat a KenPom top 200 foe. But they've won nine out of 10, including upsetting SWAC No. 1 seed Bethune-Cookman in the quarterfinals before getting through Alabama A&M and Southern to seal the deal.\n\n**Reason to Worry**: Panthers basketball is 50 percent track meet, 50 percent rugby match. It is fast-paced. It is physical. It features a lot of turnovers. But it isn't great basketball, as they struggle to shoot or rebound. They lost by an average final score of 101-75 the five times they faced top 100 foes.\n\n**March Madness Ceiling**: Could Prairie View A&M win a First Four game? If they're hitting their free throws and generating a bunch of steals, absolutely. But this team beating a No. 1 seed would be even more preposterous than when Fairleigh Dickinson knocked out Zach Edey and Purdue.\n\n## 67\\. Lehigh Mountain Hawks\n\n2 of 68\n\n![COLLEGE BASKETBALL: NOV 28 Resorts World Las Vegas Classic Lehigh vs UC Santa Barbara](https://gsp-image-cdn.wmsports.io/cms/prod/bleacher-report/getty_images/2026-03/2248329860_large_cropped.jpg)\n\nMarc Sanchez/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images\n\nNasir Whitlock\n\n**Record:** 18-16 (11-7 in Patriot)\n\n**Star Player:** Guard Nasir Whitlock has made significant strides in his three years at Lehigh, going from role player as freshman to sixth man as a sophomore to leading scorer in the Patriot League with 21.0 points per game.

The annual rite of mid-March has returned: rearranging the seeding and ranking for all 68 teams in this year’s field. Last year, the NCAA had Auburn as the overall No. 1 and Florida No. 4, while [_Sports Illustrated_ correctly identified the Gators as the team to beat](https://www.si.com/college-basketball/ranking-the-mens-ncaa-tournament-field-1-to-68) and eventual national champion. Stick with us as we Bear Down with Arizona this year.\n\n## 1\\. Arizona\n\n### NCAA seed: 2\n\nFor the first time since the Lute Olson days, the Wildcats legitimately have the goods to win it all—NBA talent, quality guards, imposing size, veteran depth and coaching. They are in the top five of KenPom’s metrics both offensively and defensively. [The tournament broadcast partners gave them a 10:35 a.m. local (and body clock) tip time](https://www.si.com/college-basketball/march-madness-2026-game-times-tv-channels-full-mens-ncaa-tournament-schedule) for their first game, but that might be their toughest obstacle through two rounds in San Diego. After that looms a potential Sweet 16 doozy against Arkansas or Wisconsin, a tough draw at that stage, but Zona is up to that challenge. [We’ll see the Wildcats in Indy](https://www.si.com/college-basketball/march-madness-2026-four-teams-with-clearest-path-to-mens-final-four), site of their only other national championship, and [history will repeat](https://www.si.com/college-basketball/march-madness-brackets-expert-predictions-2026-mens-ncaa-tournament).\n\n![Arizona’s Brayden Burries; Purdue’s Braden Smith; Michigan’s Morez Johnson Jr.; and Florida’s Haugh.](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,x_0,y_0,w_0,h_0/c_fill,w_16,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/voltaxMediaLibrary/mmsport/si/01kkwjrh7jd7aeyz92hz.jpg)\n\nClockwise from bottom left, Arizona’s Brayden Burries; Purdue’s Braden Smith; Michigan’s Morez Johnson Jr.; and Florida’s Thomas Haugh. \\| Mark J.

Duke\n\n### NCAA seed: 1\n\nThe top overall seed persevered through significant injuries in the ACC tournament, showcasing its resilience and underappreciated depth. The Other Boozer, Cayden, stepped up in Charlotte, as did frontcourt reserve Nikolas Khamenia. With big man Patrick Ngongba II expected back, the Blue Devils should again be a giant defensive terror. But [the main cog is Cameron Boozer](https://www.si.com/college-basketball/ranking-best-68-mens-basketball-players-in-2026-march-madness-field), whose all-around play has made him the runaway choice for national player of the year. [The draw is interesting](https://www.si.com/college-basketball/march-madness-four-teams-with-hardest-path-to-mens-final-four), with Jon Scheyer matching wits against Gerry McNamara in the first round—have two key players on national championship teams ever faced off as NCAA tournament coaches? Beyond that lies a potential Sweet 16 game against either Kansas or St. John’s, which would be on a jet-lagged journey from San Diego to Washington, D.C. UConn, an old Duke tournament nemesis, could be the last impediment to a repeat Final Four. Once there, [Scheyer just needs to nail the ending](https://www.si.com/college-basketball/forde-minutes-everything-you-need-to-know-2026-mens-march-madness).\n\n![Duke’s Cameron Boozer is the front-runner for national player of the year.](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,x_0,y_207,w_2304,h_1536/c_fill,w_16,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/voltaxMediaLibrary/mmsport/si/01kkwjfm7jm77ef17885.jpg)\n\nDuke’s Cameron Boozer is the front-runner for national player of the year. \\| Erick W.

The tourney’s first round officially begins two days later after the field shrinks to 64 teams.\n\nThat’s a lot of games. Need help looking for potential upsets? Or even just a little guidance on how to best spend your viewing hours?\n\nAdvertisement\n\nAdvertisement\n\nAdvertisement\n\nUsing KenPom ratings as a barometer, here’s how the 36 games rank in terms of competitiveness — from most to least:\n\n01. **West No. 8 Villanova vs. 9 Utah State:** Utah State is 32nd in KenPom, one spot ahead of Villanova. Best 8/9 in bracket.\n\n02. **Midwest No. 8 Georgia vs. 9 Saint Louis:** Georgia is eight spots ahead of Saint Louis in KenPom, but susceptible to upset.\n\n03. **South No. 8 Clemson vs. 9 Iowa:** Iowa is 11 spots ahead of Clemson in KenPom. Strongest case for 9-over-8 upset in bracket.\n\n04. **Midwest No. 11 SMU vs. 11 Miami (Ohio):** Closest First Four game, despite Miami of Ohio having lost just once in 32 games.\n\n\n\n    **\\[** [**Enter Yahoo Bracket Mayhem now**](http://yahoofantasy.com/bracketmayhem) **\\|** [**Printable bracket**](https://sports.yahoo.com/mens-college-basketball/article/march-madness-2026-printable-brackets-for-mens-and-womens-ncaa-basketball-tournaments-141418159.html) **\\]**\n\n05. **Midwest No. 7 Kentucky vs. 10 Santa Clara:** One of the most competitive 7/10s in the bracket.\n\n06. **East No. 8 Ohio State vs. 9 TCU:** Ohio State has edge, but TCU is a strong defensive team (23rd in KenPom).\n\n07. **South No. 7 Saint Mary's vs. 10 Texas A&M:** SMC is experienced but A&M’s athleticism could win out.\n\n08. **West No. 11 Texas vs. 11 NC State:** Two 11-seeds battle for spot vs. BYU\n\n09. **West No. 6 BYU vs. 11 NC State/Texas:** AJ Dybantsa will be the difference for BYU, regardless of their first-round opponent.\n\n10. **West No. 7 Miami (Fla.) vs. 10 Missouri:** Missouri (KenPom No. 51) is a big step below Miami on paper, but the 7/10 line historically sees upsets often.\n\n11. **East No. 7 UCLA vs. 10 UCF:** KenPom gap is 25.\n\n12. **South No. 6 North Carolina vs. 11 VCU:** VCU (No. 47) is a tournament-tested defensive team.
