The 2021 NCAA bracket is set and 68 teams all have the same goal, but only a select few have a legitimate shot at being the last team standing in March Madness 2021. The Gonzaga Bulldogs enter the NCAA Tournament 2021 as the only undefeated team in college basketball. However, the Zags have never won the National Championship and appeared in the title game just once in the program's history (2017).
Gonzaga enters the 2021 NCAA Tournament bracket as the favorite to cut down the nets in Indianapolis, but the Bulldogs will have to defeat stiff competition in the West Region if they want to advance to the Final Four. The West is loaded with talented teams, including the No. 2 Iowa Hawkeyes and Luka Garza, who's averaging 23.7 points per game. Will Gonzaga run the table in the March Madness bracket 2021 and claim its first National Championship? Before making any 2021 March Madness bracket predictions, be sure to check out the 2021 NCAA Tournament bracket picks from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

Top 2021 March Madness bracket picks
One team set to disrupt 2021 March Madness brackets: The No. 14-seed Colgate Raiders. SportsLine's model is calling for Colgate to stun the No. 3-seed Arkansas Razorbacks in a massive first-round upset.
Colgate features one of the most efficient offenses in college basketball. The Raiders enter the 2021 NCAA Tournament bracket ranked second in scoring offense, averaging 86.3 points per game this season. In addition, the Raiders are lethal from behind the arc, knocking down 40 percent of their three-point attempts.
Arkansas, meanwhile, is giving up 70.7 points per game this season, which ranks 188th in the nation. The model sees Colgate as the most dangerous No. 14 seed in the 2021 March Madness bracket, making the Raiders a strong team to back.
Another team to back in your 2021 NCAA Tournament picks: The No. 9 Wisconsin Badgers. SportsLine's model is calling for the Badgers to pull off the upset of No. 8 North Carolina in a first-round matchup on Friday. Wisconsin enters the NCAA Tournament 2021 having lost six of its last eight games, but all six of those defeats came against ranked teams.
Wisconsin's last four losses came by an average just four points. The Badgers have clearly shown they can take the nation's top teams down to the wire. With UNC ranking outside the top 175 nationally in field-goal percentage (44.1), three-point percentage (31.7) and free-throw percentage (66.8), Wisconsin's stifling defense, which gives up just 64.3 point per game, should get enough stops to help the Badgers advance in brackets.
How to make 2021 NCAA Tournament bracket predictions
SportsLine's model also has one region where you absolutely need to pick the No. 2 seed, and the Nos. 10 and 13 seeds both deliver huge first-round upsets. Nailing those picks could literally make or break your bracket. With the model's proven track record of calling bracket-busting upsets, you'll want to see which stunners it is calling this year before locking in any bracket picks.
So what's the optimal NCAA Tournament 2021 bracket? And which underdogs shock college basketball? Visit SportsLine now to see which double-digit seeds you can back with confidence, all from the model that's nailed 15 of the 26 double-digit seed upsets the past four years.
