Baylor and Michigan are tied at +600, Illinois is at +700 and no other team is under +1000.

In my eyes, you really have about six teams with a legit shot at winning the title. Gonzaga, Baylor, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio State and Iowa are the only teams that I’m putting a ton of stock into.

After that, I think there’s a substantial drop off.

While Gonzaga has run through their competition, I’m not sure I’m buying into the hype just yet. Don’t get me wrong. They’re awesome, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to crown them champs right now.

Over the course of the past two weeks, I’m not sure any team is playing better than Illinois, and they’re a bargain at +700.

As for Wisconsin, the Badgers are sitting at +4200, which is just a laughable number, but I’m not sweating. We’ll see what happens Friday against North Carolina!
