The Kansas Jayhawks enter the 2022 NCAA Tournament bracket as one of the hottest teams in the country. Kansas dominated its opponents in the Big 12 Tournament, winning each game by 15.3 points on average. The Jayhawks were awarded the No. 1 seed in the Midwest Region of the 2022 March Madness bracket after a dominant season. It’s Kansas’ ninth No. 1 seed in the Bill Self era and the Jayhawks will look for their first national title since 2008 when they take the court at the NCAA Tournament 2022.
Will Kansas run the table and cut down the nets in New Orleans? Will a team like Auburn, Iowa, Providence or Wisconsin represent the Midwest in the March Madness 2022 bracket? Before filling out any NCAA Tournament bracket 2022, be sure to see the 2022 March Madness bracket picks from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

Top 2022 March Madness bracket picks
One team set to disrupt 2022 March Madness brackets, according to the model: No. 6 Alabama suffers a defeat in the first round in the West Region. Alabama will face either Rutgers or Notre Dame, the play-in 11-seeds.
Alabama undeniably has one of the most explosive offenses in the 2022 NCAA Tournament. The Crimson Tide are scoring 80.0 points per game this season, the 10th-best mark in college basketball. However, Alabama is in a slump, losing its last three games. The Crimson Tide have given up at least 80 points in each of their last three outings, which includes an 87-point outburst by Texas A&M, a team that averaged just 72.8 points per game this season. SportsLine’s model expects Alabama’s defense to struggle in the NCAA Tournament 2022 bracket, resulting in an early exit for the Crimson Tide.
Another team to back in your 2022 NCAA Tournament picks: The 10th-seeded Davidson Wildcats, who stun No. 7 Michigan State in the first round of the West Region. Michigan State stumbled down the stretch this season, losing seven of its last 11 regular season games. The Spartans reeled off two victories in the Big Ten Tournament, but they don’t match up well against Davidson, a team that has won 16 of its last 20 games.
The Spartans enter the NCAA Tournament 2022 averaging just 10.44 turnovers on defense, which ranks 324th in the country. Meanwhile, Davidson ranks 16th in the nation in assist to turnover ratio (1.46), one of the main reasons why SportsLine’s model likes the Wildcats to advance to the second round.
