The Super Bowl is finally over and March Madness is just a few short weeks away. With teams deep into conference play and tournaments getting started here shortly, it felt like a good time to take a look at the updated National Championship Betting Odds for the remainder of the NCAA Basketball season.
First and foremost, the Week 15 AP Top 25 Poll rankings just dropped, so let’s see where these teams stand.

Johni Broome and Auburn are on top of the AP Poll once again

- Creighton +5500
- Michigan +6600
- Wisconsin +8000
Some other long shots are listed below:
- 100-1: Baylor, St. Mary’s, Ohio State, UCLA, Maryland, Missouri, Miss State, Louisville & Ole Miss
- 150-1: Texas, BYU, Memphis, Oregon, Xavier & Vanderbilt
- 250-1: Clemson, Georgia, Utah State & VCU
Several others are listed but, with anything longer being a bubble team as it is, I see nothing worth betting currently.
In fact, my recommendation would be waiting until the bracket comes out to bet any futures at all. March Madness is so unique in that anyone can win, you just need to be hot at the right time. We saw this last year as the NC State Wolfpack won 5 straight games to win the ACC tournament and make the big dance, extending that streak to 9 games before losing in the Final Four.
Auburn and Alabama play each other this Saturday, February 15th, so I’d imagine one of their odds will drop depending on the result. UConn has dropped out of the Top 25 but is still 12th in terms of betting odds to win the whole thing, which shows how much respect Dan Hurley and the Huskies deserve.
Ultimately, we are in for quite the finish to this College Hoops season, and in store for another great March Madness tournament.
