Bracketology 2013: Complete Projections Going into Selection Sunday
Selection Sunday is finally upon us. That means numerous college basketball teams and fans across the country will be sweating it out on Sunday night, hoping that they are in the tournament.

With that being said, there is still plenty of time for more projections before the official tournament bracket is released.
Here is a look at the projections for the entire 2013 NCAA Tournament field.

3 of 4If Indiana had won the Big Ten Tournament this weekend, it would likely have been enough for the Hoosiers to claim the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament. With Louisville's tournament win, and Indiana's semifinal loss to Wisconsin on Saturday, the Hoosiers are not in line for the No. 1 overall seed. They should still be happy as the No. 1 seed in the Midwest region.
