    Odds to win 2012 NCAA Championship

    From the Silver Legacy in Reno as of a couple days ago. Actual bettable odds.

    Unc +350 (7/2)
    Ky +500 (5/1)
    Ohio St +600 (6/1)
    Louisville 12/1
    Syracuse 15/1
    Duke 15/1
    Texas 20/1
    Mich St 20/1
    Pitt 22/1
    Memphis 25/1
    Ct 25/1
    Gonzaga 25/1
    Vandy 25/1
    Florida 25/1 (wow, shoulda bet this, too bad I'm at the airport now)
    Michigan 28/1
    Kansas 30/1
    Ucla 30/1
    Bucky, Berkeley, Baylor, Nova, You-Dub and Dubya-Vee-You all 40/1
    Zona 45/1
    Everyone else 50/1 or longer. Butler is 90/1. Let me know if you want a specific team.

    This confirms my suspicions the field next year is quite top-heavy, with unc a STRONG favorite.

    For you gol... I mean Tiger Woods fans, he's 16/1 to win the US Open.

    What were our odds going into the 2009/2010 season? We know the result though.

    Kansas was definitely the favorite that year, somewhere around 5/1 going in. I think we were around 10/1. Going into last year we were the favorite at around 6/1. Most years you don't see the kind of separation I listed above.

    I don't know that the field is that top-heavy. I agree that UK and UNC should be favorites and OSU not far behind. But, I don't see those teams as head and shoulders above everyone else. I believe they are all talented, but I don't think they are necessarily all that experienced and talented, as they are mostly underclassmen dominated teams. I would have liked Duke's chances going into last year, KU's chances going into the year before and UNC's chances going into 08-09 all better, as all those teams had some talented upperclassmen as well.

    Well, I do, especially that unc is the heavy favorite. (Try this: Whom do you fill out a Final 8 with?) We'll have to disagree here.

    Final 8? Who knows, it could be VCU, Butler, Northern Iowa, Arizona, St. Mary's and Duke for all I know. I agree that UNC looks good, I just don't think they look as good right now as the top team heading into the last 3 seasons (or more) and don't feel they have a much better chance to win than UK, OSU, or to a lesser extent many others. I expect Duke to beat them in Cameron next year.
