Sixty-eight teams will start this week in contention to win the 2025 NCAA Tournament. Only one can be left standing on Monday, April 7. Between now and then there will be chaos — and loads of it.
So I called in the big guns to help me, and help you, make all your picks as you fill out your stupendously perfect bracket to win your pool of choice. Gary Parrish, Matt Norlander and the rest of the CBS Sports hoops crew chipped in to offer their insights and share their own brackets. Take it as nothing more than guidance, or take it and fade, or copy all of it word for word.
We don’t care. We just want you to be armed with information to fill out your bracket in the best possible way.

March Madness® is better with friends, especially when you beat them! Get your bracket pools ready now and invite your friends, family and co-workers to play.

Our experts’ brackets are below with title picks and explainers included.
