The Wisconsin Badgers are on the West Coast for a few days as they prepare for their two games there against Washington and Oregon. They are still working to build the best resume possible for the NCAA Tournament. The bracketologists have all worked on updating their brackets yesterday and today, and below are five of the major players and some of the best predictors of brackets.
Fox College Sports - 7 seed
Michael DeCourcy of Fox College Hoops has his latest bracket, and it features Wisconsin still in the 7-seed and taking on a 10-seeded Clemson. They will be playing out of the Midwest region. While the seed is a tad lower than other brackets, the region that Wisconsin is in is great news. If the Badgers end up in the Midwest region, they will play their first game(s) in Chicago.
A NEW bracket forecast from @tsnmike just dropped 🙌

T3 Bracketology - 6-seed
T3 hasn't quite updated his bracket all the way yet, but he does have the Badgers jumping up to the 6-seed. They will join BYU, Louisville, and North Carolina in that location. This is one of the highest places Wisconsin has seen itself since the bracketologists started projecting this season.

NCAA March Madness - 6-seed
Andy Katz has a great bracket for Wisconsin fans. Not only do you find the Badgers in the 6-seed taking on a play-in 11-seeded game (which could be either New Mexico or TCU), but UW is also in the Midwest region. This one is a fan favorite for sure.

Field of 68 - 6-seed
The Field of 68 crew has Wisconsin also at a 6-seed and playing undefeated 11-seed Miami (OH), once again in the Midwest region. You have to love that, and Miami (OH) is going to be overseeded because of their undefeated status, even though they've played nobody all season. Still can't take them for granted, but it's good news.
Our LATEST projected bracket is HERE! 👀

AI Bracketology - 7-seed
One of the other 7-seeds among the major bracket predictions for Wisconsin, and really not all that close to making the 6-seed jump, as AI Bracketology has Wisconsin as the third best 6-seed.
