Duke is predicted as the top overall seed for the 2026 NCAA Tournament, ahead of Michigan and Arizona. This follows Duke's victory over Virginia in the ACC Tournament title game. If Michigan defeats Purdue in the Big Ten Tournament, Arizona will be the No. 2 overall seed. Meanwhile, Florida is projected to be the final No. 1 seed, regardless of any outcome from any Sunday's conference tournament title games. This comes after Houston and UConn both lost to each other, giving up a chance to claim the fourth spot. Regardless of the selection committee's decision, each team is expected to be placed in their natural geographic regions.
