There is only one perfect 2026 Women's NCAA Tournament bracket remaining on ESPN following several upsets during the first two rounds and a Cinderella run, but the top-seeded teams have been all chalk thus far.
All four No. 1 seeds advanced to the Sweet 16 after a perfect 8-0 start to March Madness and they've done so in dominant fashion. Ten games have been decided by 40 or more points, marking the most in a single tournament, and six of those victories came from No. 1 seeds.
Not every high seed has been so lucky. The No. 2 seeds and No. 3 seeds went a combined 14-2 after No. 2 Iowa and No. 3 Ohio State were upset in the second round by No. 10 Virginia and No. 6 Notre Dame, respectively. Virginia is the first First Four team to advance to the Sweet 16 and the only double-digit seed remaining.
