Cardinaldave's Bracketology

Way to Early 2026 Bracketology

Bold indicates team is projected auto bid from their conference

Italics indicates team is a lock (I define lock as you can lose out and have an 100% chance to make the tournament via an at large)

Check out the Bracket Matrix:- it compiles data of brackets across the web, such as mine.

If there are any major bracket changing outcomes, you can expect this bracket to be updated soon afterwards.
