With roughly a month remaining until Selection Sunday, Jay Bilas has updated his Bilas Index, ranking the top 68 teams in men’s college basketball.
The latest edition lays out Bilas’ current view of the national landscape, highlighting which programs sit at the top of his pecking order as the sport moves deeper into the stretch run.
A timely snapshot of the field
The ranking arrives at a key point in the calendar, when conference races and résumé-building opportunities intensify and the broader tournament picture begins to take clearer shape. Bilas’ list is framed as a look at where teams stand right now, rather than a projection of what will happen next.
What the Bilas Index represents
By extending to 68 teams, the Bilas Index mirrors the size of the NCAA tournament field and provides a wide-angle view beyond the top tier. It serves as a midseason-style checkpoint of how teams stack up at this stage, with Selection Sunday approaching.
The updated rankings reflect Bilas’ assessment of the current order across the country, from the teams he has at the very top to those rounding out the back end of the 68.
