Selection Sunday 2017 Time: Viewing Info for NCAA Tournament Bracket Unveiling

With the NCAA men's basketball conference championships wrapping up, we've finally arrived at Selection Sunday, that exciting and, sometimes, devastating day for teams that haven't earned an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament later this month. 

Later today, the 68 teams, including the 36 best at-large teams, will be selected to participate in the tournament and seeded in an exclusive show broadcast nationally by CBS and streamed live on NCAA.com.

Let's take a look at all the information you need to tune in to the show, a brief glimpse into the selection process and a rundown of which teams are on the bubble and hoping to hear their names called this evening.

Heading into Selection Sunday, 32 teams have already earned automatic bids into the championship bracket.

Headlining those top contenders is Villanova, Gonzaga (which still only has one loss on its season), Kansas and Kentucky, all of whom TeamRankings.com predicts will earn a No. 1 seed this evening. 

Teams that should make it in at the tail end of the automatic bid group include Michigan, which faces Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship, VCU, South Carolina and Wichita State. 

Per the NCAA, "there is no limit on the number of at-large teams the committee may select from one conference."

Expect the ACC to clean up when it comes to sending at-large teams to the tourney. Clemson, Virginia Tech, Miami, Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Wake Forest are all expected to be selected as part of the field of 68, per TeamRankings' algorithm. 

All votes are by secret ballot. After voting on the at-large teams, the committee members will then seed the teams.

As of Sunday morning, the "last four in" per ESPN's Joe Lunardi are expected to be Syracuse, Wake Forest, Kansas State and USC. The two teams who could be the first to be left on the outside of the bubble looking in are Rhode Island and Illinois State.

However, because the selection process is discretionary and not necessarily mathematical, there could always be some surprising upsets who find their way into the mix. 

Be sure to tune in at 5:30 p.m. ET to see if your favorite team is going to make the bracket and, if so, where it will be seeded.
