Duke, Auburn, Florida top list of NCAA Tournament favorites
BY ALEJANDRO LOPEZ
The field of 68 has been revealed, and it is no surprise which teams are favored to take it all.
The four number one seeds of the tournament are Duke, Florida, Auburn, and Houston, who have been by far the four most dominant teams in college basketball.
Duke has the shortest odds to win the tournament at +330, while Auburn and Florida are tied for the second shortest at +350 a piece. Houston trails behind the other No. 1 seeds at +750.
Tennessee has the shortest odds of the No. 2 seeds to win the tournament, while Arizona has shorter odds to win than any No. 3 seed as a No. 4 seed.
Of course, these odds are fluid and subject to change as the madness ensues until someone cuts down the nets in April.
