Michigan has lost two of its last three and its hold on a top seed has loosened to the point that the fourth No. 1 seed, Illinois, could take it.

Once nowhere near bubble contention, the Duke Blue Devils have used the past two games to play themselves into the NCAA Tournament field of 68.

In the latest bracket breakdown, nine teams from the Big Ten are projected to make the 68-team field for the men’s college basketball tournament.

As we inch closer to Selection Sunday for the NCAA tournament, our bracketology analysis breaks down which teams deserve a top seed for March Madness.

Who’s in? Who’s out?

Can Kansas jump Baylor for the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament? The Jayhawks are making their case after a sweep of West Virginia.

Duke reclaimed the top No. 1 seed after beating North Carolina and after Virginia was upset by FSU. But can Kentucky or Tennessee vault ahead now?

As March Madness rolls on, the ACC has three teams worthy of being top seeds in Virginia, Duke and North Carolina in this year’s NCAA tournament.
