It’s shaping up to be an interesting season at the top of the bracket. Auburn is set up well for their first 1 seed since 1999, and Arizona has a shot at their first 1 seed since 2014. It’s a tough road ahead for the Wildcats though, there’s two other great teams in the Pac-12 in USC and UCLA but the middle of the league is quite weak.
