While I agree that getting either Creighton and Ryan Kalkbrenner or Louisville in Lexington in the second round is unfair, I’m not convinced that the bottom half of this bracket is as stout as some believe it is.

With thousands of college basketball games unfolding each season, it's impossible for commons fan to have deep knowledge of every team in the 2025 NCAA Tournament bracket. That shouldn't stop you, however,

According to Bet MGM, the four championship favorites are, naturally, the four No. 1 seeds: Duke (+325), Florida (+325), Auburn (+400) and Houston (+600). The fifth choice on the board is No. 2 seed Alabama, sliding down significantly to +1600. Tennessee checks in at +1800, and every other option is +2500 or higher.
