NCAA tournament clip 2025: Florida has the indictment for final No. 1 seeds

(Comment of the publisher: This article is part of the Bracket Central series, an inside view of the run-up to the NCAA tournaments of men and women as well as analyzes and selection during the tournaments.)

Nashville, Tenn. – For the complete analysis of the teams around the cutting line, you will find the Bubble Watch by Jim Root until the field of 68 is announced on Sunday. Quickly in this bracket: North Carolina defeated Wake Forest on Thursday, but he managed to fall from the field to the first team that was skipped by Boise State and Texas thanks to great victories for both.

This also causes Xavier to fall against Marquette in the Big East tournament in the Big East tournament. It is very close there. But Boise State now has a third quad -1 victory over the state of San Diego in the Mountain West tournament to go against Clemson and Saint Mary's with victories. Texas now has seven quad 1 victories after you have received a second rival Texas A&M, and yes, Texas also has 14 defeats.

When Tennessee and Rick Barnes make a close friend Rodney Terry a 15th place on Friday, does the Longhorns push out again? Perhaps. But at the moment the SEC should have 14 teams in the field.

In addition, Friday here in the Bridgestone Arena, where the first two days of the SEC tournament did not feel like early days of a conference tournament, the big dogs take the dish for the first time and resume their tournament for a No. 1 seed. Auburn has already reserved number 1. Duke is also a castle No. 1.

Florida, Alabama and Tennessee may have benefited from Houston, who was shocked by Colorado on Thursday, but that didn't happen like someone who takes this seed no. 1 from Houston.

So it is Florida, Alabama and Tennessee for a place.

Florida (27-4) from Friday morning: No. 4 in the net ranking, 8-4 in Quad-1 games, 12-3 Straße/Neutral, No. 4 in the new victories above the bladder (which is exactly as stated, the number of victories that a team has a bubble team with the same schedule. Tenessee.

Alabama (24-7) From Friday morning: No. 6 in the net ranking, 10-7 in Quad-1 games, 12-4 street/neutral, No. 2 in Siegen above the bladder, No. 6 Kenpom, No. 1 in Kenpom strength of the schedule. Like Auburn, Alabama has a victory over Houston. Like Auburn, it has a victory on the home floor of his in-state rival-die Tigers and Tide Split. But Alabama lost his only meeting with Florida and his only meeting with Tennessee.

Tennessee (25-6) from Friday morning, No. 5 online, 9-6 in Quad 1 games, 9-5 street/neutral, No. 5 in Siegen above the bladder, No. 5 Kenpom, No. 14 in Kenpom strength of the schedule. Wins at home in Florida and Alabama, a defeat against Florida on the street. To do a little more work.

Best bet for Tennessee: Beat Texas on Friday – for a hopeful shot on Auburn at halftime – and Hope Missouri is going to be sent to Florida and Alabama. The best thing for you is: look at the SEC tournament on Friday.
