NCAA Tournament puzzle taking shape

Princeton's victory in the Ivy League title game earns the team a No. 13 seeding, one writer predicts.


"Selection Sunday" has arrived, and here is our latest projection of how we think the field will look.
We will update this projection one final time this afternoon.
Teams are grouped by projected seed. At the bottom is a breakdown by league of the number of projected bids and some information on the makeup of the field, the selection committee and the sites.
Remember that this is the first season of a 68-team field. There will be four play-in games this season: two involving teams that will be No. 16 seeds and two involving the final four at-large teams. The supposition for this exercise is the final four at-large teams will be No. 12 seeds. That's why there are six teams at the Nos. 12 and 16 seedings.
(Note: Teams in bold already have clinched bids.)
