Bracket Predictions 2025-26

[EnkAMania]

1. Duke
2. Arizona
3. Michigan
4. Houston
5. Florida
6. Iowa State
7. UConn

It won't be this, but it really should be.

I was putting Florida as the last #1 seed based on Bracket Matrix. When I compare the two, Houston should be the last #1.

 

[exCYtable]

Who are we hoping to match up with in the 7/10 games?

I don't want Iowa, for obvious reasons.

 

[danvillecyclone]

this is so fun

 

[bozclone]

Hasn’t everybody been saying that the conference tournaments don't matter? Why are so many talking about movement of seeds based on this weekend?

I don’t think it matters much unless something stands out like an injury or a team gets upset or blown out. No one really knows how it will be factored into their decisions.

 

[SolterraCyclone]

Teams I’d like to avoid in the 7-10 range:

1. Iowa: I think they’re a 9 seed probably, but want no part of rivalry games in the dance
2. Kentucky: blue blood, and admittedly, probably more scared of their name than their team
3. UCLA: been playing well of late, but could be out at least one starter

No other 6, 7, 10, 11s concern me right now honestly. I really wanted to avoid Wisconsin as a 6, they’ve probably moved up to a 5, and Florida as a 3, who’ve moved up to a 1, earlier in the process

 

[Cyburbbalz]

So despite the trolling from CBS that Purdue, Michigan State, Illinois, Virginia are all vying fir the 7th and 8th overall seeds ISU is a virtual lock for a #2 seed, right?

One would think so

 

[clone52]

Florida has the last number 1. Now the argument shifts to Houston vs. UConn for the top #2 seed. I would go with Houston. Very close, but Houston has a better SOS and UConn does have the Creighton loss.

Don't be so sure that Florida is locked in. I think Houston gets it

 

[CySmurf]

I think we roll into St Louis as a 2 seed!

 

[GoSTATE71]

we’re for sure a 2 seed it’s just a matter of which 2, is hate to get matched up with Duke or Florida.

ISU as a 2 will get either Duke or Michigan. Florida will be in South w/ Houston and we can't be in West with Arizona.

 

[GoSTATE71]

That would be a great draw for us. Clemson and Missouri are two of the weaker teams in the field

Missouri is wildly
Athletic we don’t play well against those teams typically

This bracketologist won last year on the bracket matrix site. No real disagreements. UCONN shouldn't be the second 2 seed but this version was updated yesterday morning so assume that changes.

This would put us as the 2 in the Midwest with Michigan. With the bracketing principles avoiding top 4 in conference in a same bracket, we’d be looking at Gonzaga or Nebraska as the 3.

If the charter concerns are to be believed, it would be Nebraska for sure

Man getting Nebraska as a 3 seed would be the dream

 

[CoachHines3]

 

[brokenloginagain]

This is too easy.

We’ll be the 2 seed in the St. Louis, and face the winner of St. Louis vs Iowa.

Mich the 1 and Nebraska the 3.

Cbs has us as a 3 at the moment. Maybe just to get clicks?

Give Fred a chance to pull another UAB in the first round

A far as I can tell , ISU’s best seed in history is 2 (2 times). 2000 - lost in E8 to NC Michigan State. 2024 - lost in sweet 16 to Illinois.

I’d like to forget about Hampton in 2001 too.
