Once I flipped my calendar over to March I could already feel the madness in the air–and now, it’s finally here. Today was selection Sunday, so we finally have our entire field of 68 set and ready to go.

For most of us, that means one thing and one thing only–it’s time to be obsessed with college basketball for the next few weeks. For others, it could mean winning big through any of these online sportsbooks, which will all be offering odds from the first tip.

However, before you place any bets, you better study up on this year’s field of 68, which is missing a few marquee teams that many expected to be invited to the big dance.

Here is how each portion of the bracket was filled out:
