Conference to Cut Down Nets; 2023 Updated NCAAB Futures

Alabama is ranked No. 1 the AP Poll for the first time in a LONG time, and just the second time in school history.

But despite their unblemished SEC record, the Crimson Tide still aren't the favorites to cut down the NCAA Tournament nets.

Houston still holds the top spot at our shop, but just by a small margin. Alabama is tied for the second-best odds with Purdue, while UCLA and Kansas round out the Top 5. Full list of 78 teams (with at least half having a legitimate change this season) is below.

Additionally, the oddsmakers have posted odds for which conference will take home the title. The Big 12 has been dominant this year, but the numbers suggest a close race between four power conferences and the AAC.
