Men’s Bracketology 3/10/2026

Congrats to Santa Clara, who got a massive Q1 win over St. Mary’s in the WCC semis last night. I’m not willing to use the word “lock” right now to describe the Broncos since the committee has done some weird stuff with mid-majors in recent years, but I would be shocked if their name is not called on Selection Sunday.

Power conference bubble action gets started today in the ACC with Stanford, SMU and Virginia Tech all in action. SMU will likely drop out of my field with a loss to Syracuse.

Bids by Conference:

SEC: 11

Big 10: 9

ACC: 8

Big 12: 8

Big East: 3

West Coast: 3

Atlantic 10: 2

Moving In: Furman
