Selection Sunday is relatively stress-free for the national title contenders.
Those that were bound for a top seed are only worried about what their path looks like and which other top teams will be playing in their region.

Risers
Kansas +700
Kansas started the day at +1400 to win the national title. After the bracket reveal, the Big 12 Champions are the third-highest favorite to win the entire thing at +700.
The Jayhawks are the No. 1 seed in the Midwest Region. They are expected to have a relatively easier path in their region with Auburn as the No. 2 seed and Wisconsin as the No. 3 seed.
Providence is the highest seed on Kansas' side of the bracket and they have a difficult first round matchup against South Dakota State, as the Friars are just a 2.5-point favorite.
Tennessee +2000
The Volunteers started the day at +3300 to win the championship. That moved to +2500 after winning the SEC Tournament, and it moved all the way to +2000 after the bracket reveal.
Tennessee will play in the South Region with Arizona as the No. 1 seed and Villanova as the No. 2 seed.
Iowa +3300
Iowa is another team that's been boosted by their play as of late. They began Sunday with +5000 odds to win it all. Then they proceeded to win the Big Ten Tournament and jumped up to +4000.
After the bracket reveal, they now sit at +3300 on PointsBet. They are the No. 5 seed in the Midwest. The No. 4 seed Providence has a difficult matchup with South Dakota State which might be one reason why people like this team to come out of the Midwest, or at least the first weekend.
Texas +5500
The Longhorns were +8000 to win the title before the bracket was released and have jumped up to +5500 after the reveal. They were awarded the No. 6 seed in the East Region and drew a pretty difficult matchup against red-hot Virginia Tech. The Hokies shocked everyone by winning the ACC Championship.
Memphis +6600
Here we go again with Penny Hardaway's team. They spent most of the season on the bubble and then went on a run in the American Conference Tournament before losing in the championship to Houston.
They were +10000 to win the National Championship before the bracket and are now +6600. They have the No. 9 seed with a difficult matchup against Mountain West Champion Boise State. If they win that, they'll likely face the No. 1 overall seed Gonzaga.
Fallers
Auburn +1400
Auburn went from +1100 to +1400 after landing in the Midwest Region as the No. 2 seed. They have Wisconsin and Kansas as the other top seeds in their region. Money appears to be coming in on Kansas which has dropped Auburn's odds.
Ohio State +10000
Ohio State was +8000 to win it all before the bracket was released. After the bracket the Buckeyes find themselves at 100-1. They drew a very difficult first round matchup against mid-major power Loyola-Chicago, which is a short favorite over the Buckeyes.
If they get through that, they have Villanova and Tennessee on their half of the bracket.
