MARCH MADNESS BRACKETOLOGY: Houston, Florida rise in NCAA tournament seeding
March Madness 2026: NCAA tournament metrics’ most polarizing teams

How the NCAA tournament selection committee seeds the defending national champions is developing into a fascinating subplot for Selection Sunday after Florida didn’t get wins in high-profile nonconference games against Arizona, Duke and UConn. But the Gators remain in the SEC driver’s seat with a huge matchup against Texas A&M looming on Feb. 7. Predictive rankings have them already in contention for a top-two seed, but results-based metrics have Florida hovering just inside the top-20. Will committee members give the Gators the benefit of the doubt over teams with fewer losses?
