We're two weeks from Selection Sunday, and Kansas has emerged as the best team in the nation. Says the betting market, at least.
Westgate re-opened its national title odds on Monday with Kansas at 9-2. Last year, Duke, Gonzaga and Virginia were all 5-1 or lower entering the NCAA Tournament.
The team making the most noise toward the top of the board is Kentucky, which has fallen to 12-1 at Westgate. You can get the Wildcats, winners of eight straight, at 20-1 at DraftKings (NJ, Indiana, PA and WV only).
Two teams down the board getting some love in the futures market are Virginia and Wisconsin. The defending national champion Cavaliers were a bubble team not too long ago, but have won six straight and upset Duke on Saturday.
Wisconsin has been a different team since Micah Potter became eligible at the end of December. The Badgers have also won six straight, including five against teams in the top 35 of our betting power ratings. They've also been arguably the most impressive team on the road in the Big Ten, winning at Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State.
Creighton (100-1 to 30-1), Michigan and BYU (both 100-1 to 60-1) have made some of the biggest moves in the last month.
