March Madness 2027 Bracket Shock | Big 12 Basketball News

March Madness is heating up way ahead of schedule as Joe Lunardi drops his 2027 bracketology, flipping the top seed to Duke while Florida stays locked in as a No. 1 in the South. Arizona now leads the West, Michigan’s crown slipping, and Illinois holds steady in the Midwest. The SEC and Big Ten remain tied for most projected teams—twelve each—with Florida still the highest-ranked SEC squad, but Texas rising as a two-seed and Alabama, Arkansas sliding to four-seeds. Tennessee jumps to four-seed in the South, while Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Georgia, Missouri, Auburn, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma all look like locks. Texas A&M’s on the bubble, Mississippi State just outside. Early predictions are wild—but they’re already sparking debate about who’s truly ready for March.
