Frequently Asked Questions
Which college basketball teams are included?
Close to 100 NCAA Division I men's programs: every team in the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC and Big East (2025–26 alignment) plus well-known mid-major programs such as Gonzaga, Saint Mary's, San Diego State, Dayton and VCU.
Can I use it to fill out a March Madness bracket?
You can use it for a just-for-fun bracket or to settle coin-flip games, but for a real bracket you will want seeds and matchups. A fun option is drawing a random Final Four and seeing how it compares with the experts.
Why are some schools in a different conference than I remember?
Conference realignment in 2024 moved many programs – for example UCLA and USC to the Big Ten, Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC, Arizona and BYU to the Big 12, and Stanford, Cal and SMU to the ACC. The generator follows the current alignment.
Can I pick only from one conference?
