March Madness excitement hasn’t reached fever pitch yet, but there is no denying excitement is starting to build for the premier college basketball tournament. As there was no March Madness in 2020, the 2021 event is eagerly anticipated, and fans across the world are scouring over the seeds, and determining who is coming out on top.
If you are preparing your bracket, or wondering where to place your words and money, you will likely have considered the top seeds already.
The Top 16 seeds for March Madness 2021 are:

- Baylor

- Ohio State

- Villanova

- Houston

- Iowa
- Texas Tech
- Texas
- Missouri
