The potential No. 1 overall seed in the 2026 NCAA Tournament has not yet been in the spotlight due to conference tournament action. Duke, Arizona, and Michigan are all vying for conference tournament titles, while Michigan is playing in the Big Ten Tournament semifinals. The order will be determined by the final results before Sunday's selection show on CBS. If Duke beats Virginia in the ACC Tournament title game, it will be positioned to claim the top overall seed. If Arizona defeats Houston for the Big 12 Tournament crown, the Wildcats will also have a strong case to be No.1 overall. The remaining No. 2 seeds in the 2022 NCAA Tournament are also in the mix. The expected regions for each team will not change, but claiming the top spot in the field of 68 is an honor.
