The NCAA Tournament has arrived and in conjunction with March Madness, MaxPreps duplicated the 68-team collegiate national championship field on the high school level.

Unlike the NCAA, no automatic bids were given for MaxMadness as every team had to earn their spot in the field based on overall body of work.

Much like the NCAA Tournament selection process, MaxMadness bracketology is weighted heavily on team's overall record, strength of schedule, quality of roster composition and postseason results. Seeding follows MaxPreps Top 25 rankings and National Top 20 rankings.

While we tried to keep teams as close to their geographical regions as possible to make the idea more realistic, like the Big Dance, some teams could not be aligned with their location.

Check out our complete 68-team MaxMadness field below and make sure to tune into CBS for the 2022 NCAA Tournament.
