Unleash the Madness into this Blank NCAA Tournament Bracket

March Madness is synonymous with exhilarating basketball action, unpredictable outcomes, and the collective thrill of following the NCAA tournament. 

Before we get to the bracket-filling chaos, let’s talk about how the NCAA field of 68 is chosen. As conference tournaments heat up, teams are punching their tickets to the Big Dance by securing automatic bids. Meanwhile, bubble teams are sweating it out, desperately hoping they did enough to land on the right side of the bracket instead of the dreaded “First Four Out” list making it into the traditional 64-team bracket we’re most familiar with.

The Madness Begins: The Road to Selection Sunday

The NCAA selection committee leans on the NET Rankings (a fancy basketball algorithm that sorts wins and losses into four categories, aka quadrants) to seed teams and create the bracket. Bracketologists spend months obsessing over how teams stack up, yet every year they are completely blindsided by a few surprises.

For now, here’s a look at our latest 2025 bracketology projections:

Projected No. 1 Seeds: Auburn, Duke, Houston, Florida
Last Four Byes: SDSU, Georgia, Vanderbilt, Oklahoma
Last Four In: West Virginia, Indiana, Xavier, North Carolina
First Four Out: Texas, Ohio State, Boise State, Colorado State

Translation? Some fanbases are in for heartbreak. To fully immerse yourself in the excitement, a blank March Madness Bracket is an essential tool. It provides the framework for fans to predict, track, and engage with every game of the tournament.

While pre-filled brackets save you time, a blank March Madness bracket gives you total control—whether you’re aiming for bragging rights in your office pool or making the boldest, most ridiculous picks imaginable. A blank bracket lets you:

✅ Create your own predictions – Will you trust the stats or go with your gut?
✅ Compete against friends – Nothing strengthens friendships like a little competitive trash talk.
✅ Analyze matchups – Study team strengths, weaknesses, and historical performances.
✅ Document your failures – Keep your completed bracket as a painful reminder of how a 15-seed ruined your perfect run.

How to Use Your Blank March Madness Bracket

Step 1: Fill in the teams & seeds – Start by adding the 68 teams and their seed numbers as they’re announced on Selection Sunday (March 16, 2025).

Step 2: Make your predictions – Do your research, or blindly pick teams based on mascots (which, oddly enough, sometimes works).

Step 3: Track the madness – Mark each round’s winners as teams survive and advance through the First Round, Sweet 16, Elite 8, and Final Four until only one champion remains.

Step 4: Question your life choices – Watch your bracket crash and burn within 48 hours, then pretend you “totally expected that upset.”
