No need for March Madness. 2026 Final Four has already been decided
USA TODAY
Forget the drama. Duke, Arizona, Michigan and Florida have already proven they are on their way for another all-No. 1 seed Final Four.
Get ready for another boring run to the men's Final Four.
What makes March Madness such a spectacle is the unpredictability. Each game can throw away everything we know about the season, allowing Cinderellas to shine and Goliaths to falter. That didn't happen much last year en route to all four No. 1 seeds making the Final Four for just the second time in history.
This season, there is no doubt of who has separated themselves from the rest of the field. Duke, Arizona and Michigan are in a class of their own. They awaited who would join them as the fourth member, and it was answered in the regular-season finale with Florida.
