Selection Sunday is just a week away, and it won't be the same at a few places.

Some teams that were featured prominently in last season's bracket might not make the field of 64 at all this year. It just shows how quickly fortunes can change, even at strong programs.

Iowa State was seeded third a year ago, but the Cyclones are 12-15 now and will have to win the Big 12 tournament to get in. They've been in the field for six straight years. Florida was a seeded sixth in 2002 but finished 9-19 this season and will miss out for only the second time in 11 years.

Drake will have to win the Missouri Valley Conference tournament to get in after reaching the round of 16 last year. Clemson has gone to the NCAA Tournament seven straight years and 14 of the last 15, but don't look for the Tigers this time. They were 13-14 in the regular season, 5-11 in the ACC.

BYU pulled off one of the tournament's biggest upsets last year when the 11th-seeded Cougars knocked off Iowa State on its own floor to reach the regional semifinals. But they've been up and down this season and there's no guarantee they'll be chosen -- unless they win the Mountain West Conference tournament.

Oklahoma was seeded as a No. 1 last season and reached the national championship game. The Sooners slipped to fifth in the Big 12 this season after winning the league last year but are expected to make the NCAA field.

Then there are some things that never change.

Connecticut is expected to be seeded No. 1 for the fifth straight year and eighth time in the last nine seasons. Tennessee was disappointed at being a No. 2 last year, but it's difficult to see the Lady Vols being anything other than a No. 1 this time. That would make it 14 No. 1s in 16 years for coach Pat Summitt's program.

In the women's tournament, it pays to be one of the favorites. A No. 1 seed has won the last five NCAA championships and 16 of the 21. The lowest seeded team to win? A No. 3 -- North Carolina in 1994 and Tennessee in 1997.
