The tourney’s first round officially begins two days later after the field shrinks to 64 teams.\n\nThat’s a lot of games. Need help looking for potential upsets? Or even just a little guidance on how to best spend your viewing hours?\n\nAdvertisement\n\nAdvertisement\n\nAdvertisement\n\nUsing KenPom ratings as a barometer, here’s how the 36 games rank in terms of competitiveness — from most to least:\n\n01. **West No. 8 Villanova vs. 9 Utah State:** Utah State is 32nd in KenPom, one spot ahead of Villanova. Best 8/9 in bracket.\n\n02. **Midwest No. 8 Georgia vs. 9 Saint Louis:** Georgia is eight spots ahead of Saint Louis in KenPom, but susceptible to upset.\n\n03. **South No. 8 Clemson vs. 9 Iowa:** Iowa is 11 spots ahead of Clemson in KenPom. Strongest case for 9-over-8 upset in bracket.\n\n04. **Midwest No. 11 SMU vs. 11 Miami (Ohio):** Closest First Four game, despite Miami of Ohio having lost just once in 32 games.\n\n\n\n    **\\[** [**Enter Yahoo Bracket Mayhem now**](http://yahoofantasy.com/bracketmayhem) **\\|** [**Printable bracket**](https://sports.yahoo.com/mens-college-basketball/article/march-madness-2026-printable-brackets-for-mens-and-womens-ncaa-basketball-tournaments-141418159.html) **\\]**\n\n05. **Midwest No. 7 Kentucky vs. 10 Santa Clara:** One of the most competitive 7/10s in the bracket.\n\n06. **East No. 8 Ohio State vs. 9 TCU:** Ohio State has edge, but TCU is a strong defensive team (23rd in KenPom).\n\n07. **South No. 7 Saint Mary's vs. 10 Texas A&M:** SMC is experienced but A&M’s athleticism could win out.\n\n08. **West No. 11 Texas vs. 11 NC State:** Two 11-seeds battle for spot vs. BYU\n\n09. **West No. 6 BYU vs. 11 NC State/Texas:** AJ Dybantsa will be the difference for BYU, regardless of their first-round opponent.\n\n10. **West No. 7 Miami (Fla.) vs. 10 Missouri:** Missouri (KenPom No. 51) is a big step below Miami on paper, but the 7/10 line historically sees upsets often.\n\n11. **East No. 7 UCLA vs. 10 UCF:** KenPom gap is 25.\n\n12. **South No. 6 North Carolina vs. 11 VCU:** VCU (No. 47) is a tournament-tested defensive team.

But with all the noise created by a 68-team field, it can be hard to lock onto the right teams with the right matchups in front of them.\n\nThat’s why I’m here. I’ve spent the last couple of days scouring every corner of the bracket and cross-referencing it against BetMGM’s evolving [college basketball futures](https://www.betmgm.com/en/sports/basketball-7/betting/usa-9/college-basketball-m-264) market.\n\nThe result is a solid list of underdogs and Cinderellas that are worth paying attention to as you make decisions about your brackets and bets this week.\n\n### South Florida\n\nSouth Florida is a top-50 KenPom team that hasn’t lost a game since January, so it’s dangerous in this spot no matter what. But if Louisville’s best player, Mikel Brown, can’t get healthy for this game, South Florida could go from a dangerous first-round dog to a Sweet 16 team pretty quickly.\n\nBrown hasn’t played since Feb. 28 due to a back injury, and he’s going to make sure he’s healthy before he plays – he’s a projected lottery pick this summer and understandably doesn’t want to do anything to affect his draft stock. But even if he _does_ play, the nature of a back injury is that you’re not quite right until you’re back to 100 percent.\n\nThat leaves a lot of good paths forward for the Bulls, who feel a little underweight to me at +165. The [Sweet 16 odds](https://sports.betmgm.com/en/blog/ncaab/sweet-16-odds-predictions-futures-2026-bm06/) market does a better job expressing how live they are as a potential second-weekend team, pricing them at +650. That’s shorter than almost every other team that isn’t a No. 5 seed or higher.\n\n[South Florida@ +650](https://www.betmgm.com/en/sports/event/17351541?options=17351541-1477960150--141083088) [South Florida@ +1800](https://www.betmgm.com/en/sports/event/17351541?options=17351541-1477945645--141121757) [South Florida@ +8000](https://www.betmgm.com/en/sports/event/17351541?options=17351541-1420418613--141225382)\n\n### Saint Mary’s\n\nBetween Saint Mary’s and Texas A&M, only one has beaten an opponent this season ranked in the KenPom to"
