Final Selection for the NCAA Tournament Bracket Projections Forecasts for Sunday

We’ve pretty much known what the NCAA Tournament seeds were going to be long ago – at least the 1-10 seeds – so there isn’t too much drama going into Selection Sunday.

What are the big questions?

College Basketball Rankings: The Final 68 Prior to the NCAA Championship

How much respect will the Mountain West get? Will San Diego State and Boise State shoehorn their way in?

How much does brand name matter? Should North Carolina, Indiana, and Texas get in? Not really. Would they get in if they were named North Carolina Tech, Indiana A&M, and Steve, or does history play a role?

Could Tennessee push up into a 1 seed with a win in the SEC Championship? Where does Michigan go if it beats Wisconsin for the Big Ten Championship?

Will Texas, UNC, and Indiana Make It into the NCAA Tournament Bubble Watch?

Here we go. Here are our final NCAA Tournament Bracket Projections.
