Today is Monday, March 8th, 2021. There are seven days until Selection Sunday. From this point forward, this bracketology will be updated daily so you can see the most up-to-date forecasts from the most accurate bracketology website of the past two tournaments. Some days, this will consist of just a seed list, whereas sometimes a full projected bracket and a feature column about a specific team will be added.
