Who will be No. 1 of the No. 1’s?
Men’s March Madness will soon be reduced from 68 teams to the Final Four — and all four of the tournament’s No. 1 seeds are still dancing.
The Duke Blue Devils, Florida Gators and Houston Cougars are all on the brink of the national championship game in the 2025 NCAA Tournament, and the Auburn Tigers could soon join them with a win over No. 2 Michigan State on Sunday.
From the matchups to the schedule and more, here’s what to know about the potential all No. 1 Final Four:
Only once since the NCAA Tournament expanded to 64 teams has there been a Final Four comprised of all No. 1 seeds.
Three No. 1 seeds have reached the Final Four in a single year just five times, according to the NCAA.
The last and only time the Final Four featured all four No. 1 seeds was in 2008 when Kansas, Memphis, North Carolina and UCLA all reached the semifinals. Kansas went on to defeat Memphis in the national championship game.
The list of potential 2025 national champions is down to these teams:
- No. 1 Auburn
- No. 1 Duke
- No. 1 Florida
- No. 1 Houston
- No. 2 Michigan State
