You can actually google this and find the

Procedure used to fill the brackets. They take the cnet scores as soon as the conference tourneys are complete. They don’t pre seed because of the geographic placement of the 1 and 2 seeds and other factors. I’ve heard they run practice runs leading up to the conf tourneys. But it’s just for practice. I don’t have the link to the document but I found it on google a few months ago. The ncaa published it to head off criticism over the process. I think it’s a year or two old.

NC Hoke • 02/13/26 05:38 PM ET

Don't count on tourney wins to impact NCAAT seeding.
