We are still months away from first puck drop in the college hockey season, but it’s never too early to start thinking about the NCAA Tournament.
College Puck NXT has released its latest update of the 2025-26 bracketology for the upcoming college hockey season. Michigan State is once again expected to be the in mix, with the Spartans landing as a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament bracket projection.
Michigan State is the No. 1 seed in the Sioux Falls, S.D. region and paired up with Sacred Heart in the first round. UConn and North Dakota are the other two teams projected to be in the Spartans region.
Michigan State was a No. 1 seed in this past year’s NCAA Tournament but were upset by Cornell in the first round. The Spartans were also a No. 1 seed in the 2024 NCAA Tournament but were bounced in the second round by rival Michigan.
