The 2025 men’s college basketball season has been defined by elite teams, so it is only fitting that the national championship game be played between two 1-seeds. Florida and Houston beat Auburn and Duke, respectively, in the Final Four to advance to the final. The tournament saw all four 1-seeds make it to the Final Four, and the result was two high-level, competitive games.

For just the second time in the history of the men’s NCAA Tournament, all four No. 1 seeds have made it to the Final Four. Auburn, Duke, Houston and Florida have been historically dominant all season long, so it isn’t any surprise that they were all capable of making it this far. In fact, the four teams all rank in the top nine in KenPom’s net efficiency metric going back to the 1996-97 season. Still, by pure statistical probability alone, it is unlikely to see all No. 1 seeds make it this far.

The Sweet 16 further confirmed the trend of this men’s NCAA Tournament: The higher seeds are dominating the proceedings. Dramatic, last-second losses by 10-seed Arkansas and 6-seed Ole Miss were the closest we got to having “surprise” entries into the Elite Eight. In fact, 3-seed Texas Tech – which needed a 16-point second-half comeback to get past the Razorbacks – is somehow the only team seeded No. 3 or lower still in the field.

Whether it is because of NIL and the transfer portal, as some have suggested, or it’s a random occurrence, there haven’t been as many upsets and Cinderella runs this year. It’s fair to miss those shocking results, but there are two sides to every coin. With more proven, talented teams remaining in the field, the slate of games in the Sweet 16 promises to be stellar.
