2025 March Madness: Here are the 5 biggest NCAA tournament snubs

It’s the most predictable part of Selection Sunday.

Every year, there are more teams convinced they deserve an NCAA men's tournament bid than there is room in the 68-team bracket.

Three years ago, Texas A&M coach Buzz Williams distributed a nine-page manifesto arguing the Aggies were wronged and the selection process needs an overhaul. Last year, the Big East called itself “understandably very disappointed” over the conference's historically low number of teams selected. This March, the bubble teams passed over in favor of North Carolina had the most reason to be fuming after the unveiling of the bracket Sunday evening.
