Biggest questions going into the March Madness bracket reveal
With the bracket reveal mere hours away, what are the biggest questions about this year's bracket we're waiting to get answers for?
Does Auburn or Duke get the Number 1 overall seed?
The Auburn Tigers and Duke Blue Devils are both sure-fire 1-seeds in this year's tournament, and they'll undoubtedly be the two highest 1-seeds in the field. But which gets the No. 1 overall seed? Auburn has been the favorite all year. Their resume is easily the strongest of any one team, and they've long looked to be as good or better than anyone.
But the Tigers have lost three of their last four games, and metrics now consider Duke the be the actual best team in the country. The Blue Devils also beat Auburn head-to-head. Will those factors outweigh Auburn's overall body of work and let Duke take the top spot?
How many SEC teams make the NCAA Tournament?
The SEC has had a banner year as a college basketball conference. The league will almost certainly break the Big East's record of 11 teams selected for the NCAA Tournament. In fact, there's high confidence that 13 SEC teams get a bid today. The big question is with Texas. The Longhorns look to be right on the cutline. Will the committee give an unthinkable 14 bids to one conference? Or could the SEC end up with fewer than expected?
Do North Carolina make the NCAA Tournament?
No bubble team has been as controversial as the North Carolina Tar Heels. Metrics think highly of UNC, who played a great schedule and mostly handled business against lesser teams. The problem? The Heels are just 1-12 in Quad 1 games. You don't see teams reach the dance with so few quality wins, especially not when they had so many chances. If it wasn't UNC, would a team with that resume even get consideration?
