Tournament Predictions: Final Bracketology projections on Selection Sunday: NCAA
The 2025 NCAA men’s tournament bracket will be revealed on CBS at 6 p.m. ET. While the conference tournament championships being played on Sunday could play a factor, there won’t be much movement along seed lines from the results.
The NCAA uses the NET Rankings – an analytic algorithm which ranks every team in college basketball by splitting wins and losses into four categories (known as quadrants) – to help the selection committee build the 68-team bracket in March.
Bracketology aims to predict how the selection committee will seed each team based on the results to this point in the season, while accounting for other factors which impact the final bracket.
As the final automatic bids are locked in, the selection committee is breaking down the resumes of the bubble teams one last time. Check out the final bracketology projections for the 2025 NCAA Tournament.
