Our latest edition of Bracketology could encourage readers to wonder if a conference has already produced three n ° 1 series heads in the NCAA male basketball tournament. The answer is yes, but it would be a first for the dry.
It was the ACC which had three series heads in 2019, the trio of the possible Virginia champion with the usual suspects Duke and the North Carolina. Duke should be on the upper line again, but the Blue Devils are alone with the candidates for the dry this year.
Auburn, of course, has done nothing to lose its place at the top of the support since our initial projection. They are joined by the rival of the Alabama State and its colleague member of the SEC in Florida. THE Gators Go up this week with the iowa state by sliding a place n ° 1 after three defeats while dealing with injuries.
Maintaining these high perches in the highly competitive league with the selection on Sunday at more than a month could be difficult. Again, there are several other contenders of the waiting conference in the wings, notably Tennessee at a n ° 2 after having turned Florida on Saturday.
In total, the SEC has seven of the seeded teams n ° 4 or more in our projection. The Big 12 is as follows with four among the first 16, with three of the Big Ten and one of the ACC and the Big East.
Speaking of the Big 12, Houston remains n ° 2 with the downstream state of the Iowa, but Texas Tech goes to a top 16 after beating the cougars on the road.
