March Madness 2026: Ryan Fagan Reveals Shocking Upset Picks That Could Rewrite NCAA History
Opta Analyst’s TRACR (Team Rating Adjusted for Conference and Roster) rankings have a pretty solid track record of showing which teams are underseeded and which teams are overseeded, which is helpful info when trying to choose your upsets.
Here’s our region-by-region breakdown of this year’s field, with TRACR insights and helpful suggestions of which teams might help you win this new approach to filling out your NCAA Tournament bracket.
East Region
Upset Special: No. 7 UCLA over No. 2 UConn. Sure, this isn’t a first-round upset, but a 2-seed failing to make it out of the opening weekend is absolutely an upset. Those UCLA Bruins are 26th overall in the TRACR ratings and played great basketball down the stretch of the regular season, beating then-nationally ranked top-10 teams Nebraska and Michigan State before injuries led to a Big Ten Tournament downfall. But with Tyler Bilodeau and Donovan Dent expected back at full strength, this is a nightmarish matchup for coach Dan Hurley’s UConn squad that got smoked by St. John’s in the Big East Tournament title game.
