SEC-champion Alabama, Big Ten-champion Purdue, Big 12 runner-up Kansas, and Pac-12-champion UCLA round out the top-five March Madness favorites.

North Carolina Misses Out

The other teams that narrowly missed out were Clemson, Rutgers, and Oklahoma State.
The last four teams in the tournament as at-large bids were Arizona State, Mississippi State, Nevada, and Pittsburgh.

The 2023 NCAA Tournament will start with the First Four on Tuesday, March 14, and Wednesday, March 15.
The First Four games feature the last four teams to receive at-large bids and the four lowest-seeded teams to get automatic bids.
This year, the First Four games between at-large teams will feature No. 11 seeds Arizona State vs. Nevada, and Mississippi State vs. Pittsburgh.
