The Round of 64 is officially in the books, and most of the favorites to take home the crown made it through unscathed.
Nine of the top 10 teams with the lowest odds avoided the upset, with Auburn the lone school who failed to make it to the weekend. The Tigers entered the tournament with the sixth-best odds (+1700) to cut down the nets, but were upset by the Yale Bulldogs, 78-76.
Only one other team in the top 15 failed to advance as the Kentucky Wildcats – who were tied for the 12th best odds (+3000) – fell to the Oakland Golden Grizzlies, 80-76. Auburn and Kentucky were double-digit favorites before the upsets. As a result, the SEC earned the dubious distinction of being the first conference since 1993 to have two teams lose outright as double-digit favorites.
The Round of 32 tips off Saturday with spots in the Sweet 16 on the line. With that in mind, here are the current odds for all 32 teams to win the national title.
