2021 March Madness Bracket Unveiled: All 68 Teams in Men's NCAA Tournament
The 68 teams who will compete in the 2021 men's NCAA tournament were revealed on Selection Sunday.
Gonzaga, Baylor, Illinois and Michigan are this year's March Madness No. 1 seeds, with the unbeaten Bulldogs taking the top overall spot.
The 31 Division I conference tournament championship winners earn automatic bids to the tournament as long as they are eligible for postseason play (the Ivy League, meanwhile, opted not to hold winter sports this year). The remaining 37 teams receive at-large bids, chosen by the selection committee and bracketed into four regions: the East, West, South, and Midwest.
