A week out from Selection Sunday NCAA Tournament Bracketology

For teams like the Alabama Crimson Tide, Tennessee, Kentucky and Auburn, NCAA Tournament seeding is mostly set. It is unlikely an opening game loss in the SEC Tournament or making to the SEC's Sunday Championship Game will have much impact on Big Dance seeding.

Among the most respected Bracketologists, there are minimal deviations in how they project Seeds 1-5 in the NCAA Tournament. Any movement for the Tide, Vols, Wildcats and Tigers will likely be one seed line up or down.

There are more than a hundred published Bracketologists. The Bracket Matrix is a good way to keep up with most of them, but the site has some lag time for updates.

Today's Bracketology report relies on just two sources; Jerry Palm of CBS Sports and 1-3-1 Sports.
