Brad-ketology: 2025 Final NCAA Tournament Seed List

I will send out my final brackets in a few minutes, but here is the final seed list for my NCAA Bracket Projection. As you can see, I have two different seed lists depending on the outcome of the UAB/Memphis game, as UAB victory would greatly affect where multiple teams are seeded. The teams below are displayed below on an S-curve, so they are ranked from left to right within each seeding line. Teams in bold have earned automatic bids to this year’s NCAA tournament by virtue of winning their respective conference tournament. Feel free to comment or debate.
