Men’s Bracketology 2/16/2026

It’s a month to Selection Sunday! A reminder that the bracket is generally pretty set in stone a month out- if historical precedent is a guide, 38 of the top 40 teams in this bracket will make the tournament, and only 3 or 4 teams outside the tournament will make it in.

The weekend’s biggest bubble losers were Georgia, who dropped their fifth game out of their last six, and UCF, who dropped their third straight. Both teams have huge bubble clashes coming up this week, against Texas and TCU respectively.

Bids by Conference:

Big 10: 11

SEC: 10

ACC: 8

Big 12: 7

Big East: 3

West Coast: 3

Mountain West: 2
