ESPN still predicts Texas to be a No. 1 seed, albeit the bracket’s fourth one. But if the NCAA Tournament selection committee agrees with 32 AP voters and 31 ballot-submitting coaches that UT is the nation’s fifth-best team, Texas would slip to a No. 2.

The Vanderbilt Commodores play in the SEC Tournament against the Texas Longhorns. Wednesday's game will be the second meeting of the season between the two teams.

Bracketology by USA TODAY's Eddie Timanus projects the Longhorns will miss the postseason. Texas is forecast as one of the last teams out of the field. Boise State, Colorado State and North Carolina join UT as the "first four out." Oklahoma, Ohio State, Xavier and Indiana are the "last four in."
