Michigan Named Top Seed, Who Else Earned a 1-seed in March Madness Preliminary Rankings?

Michigan is the No. 1 overall seed in the preliminary rankings by the committee that will select the 68-team men's field for the NCAA Tournament. The Wolverines, who headline the AP Top 25, were joined by Duke, Arizona and Iowa State as the 1-seeds in Saturday's reveal show on CBS. Selection committee chairman Keith Gill, the Sun Belt commissioner, said there was separation between the top three teams and the fourth No. 1 seed — with the Cyclones edging UConn and Houston for it. Gill said the committee originally had UConn as a 1-seed when it adjourned work Wednesday, only to see the Huskies lose to Creighton at home later that night. Throw in Iowa State’s head-to-head win against Houston on Monday, and it swung the vote to the Cyclones. "It was really close with those three teams," Gill said. "We talked about Iowa State and UConn and Houston. The head-to-head between Iowa State and Houston got there, and then the UConn and Houston (comparison): UConn's three best wins are better than Houston's three best wins. So when the committee was looking at that, I think (it) weighted those wins a little higher." The Huskies and Cougars were the fifth and sixth seeds to headline the list of teams that would be No. 2 regional seeds, followed by Illinois and Purdue. Reigning national champion Florida was the No. 9 seed to lead the regional 3-seeds, followed by Kansas, Nebraska and Gonzaga. Texas Tech, Michigan State, Vanderbilt and Virginia sat on the 4 line to round out the top 16 seeds. Saturday’s reveal is a snapshot of where things stand with a month left until Selection Sunday. Generally, the teams listed above the cutline for a top-four regional seed stay there, with minor fluctuations when it comes to eventual seeding. Overall, 108 of 128 teams (84.4%) who have appeared in the preliminary reveal since the debut show in 2017 have ended up as top-16 seeds by Selection Sunday; that data excludes 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic forcing the cancellation of that year’s tournament. That includes at least 11 teams every year, peaking at 15 of 16 in 2017, 2022 and 2023. That figure has been 14 of 16 for each of the past two years. As for the headliners, 25 of 32 teams (78.1%) that had a 1-seed in the preliminary rankings ultimately remained on the top line, including at least three of four every year and all four in 2023. Only one team listed as high as a 2-seed has failed to remain inside the top 16: Villanova in 2021, which was a 2-seed in the preliminary reveal but finished as a regional 5-seed. Selection Sunday is March 15, with First Four games beginning two days later and the first round following March 19. The regionals are set for Washington, Chicago, Houston and San Jose, California, from March 26-29. The Final Four will be held in Indianapolis, with the national semifinals set for April 4 and the championship two days later at Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts.

Daytona 500 Winner Tyler Reddick On Pole After Rain Wipes Out Atlanta Qualifying

EchoPark Speedway (Hampton, Ga.) — Rain washed out NASCAR Cup Series qualifying, putting Daytona 500 winner Tyler Reddick on the pole for the Autotrader 400 on Sunday. When qualifying is not held, the starting order is set by the NASCAR performance metric — 70 percent the finish from the previous race and 30 percent of the car's owner point standings. Reddick had the best score (he finished first at Daytona and leads the standings), so he starts on the pole. Joey Logano, who finished third in the Daytona 500, starts second. With qualifying rained out, the first laps drivers take at Atlanta will be in the race on Sunday afternoon (3 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app). They do not practice on the drafting tracks after the Daytona 500 because of the risk for the teams of a crash, while practice in drafting can outweigh the knowledge gained by the practice. Reddick probably liked the fact that he had a day without a lot of responsibilities after a few days of media as the Daytona 500 winner. "There's a number of things that have been out of sorts, if you will, but for the most part, it was a normal week on the prep side," Reddick said. "So I think I'll be good." The FOX Weather forecast for Sunday is for cool temperatures in the 40s with no chance of rain.
