NCAA March Madness: Is The National Title Up For Grabs More This Season Than In Recent Years?

Obviously it's up for grabs each & every year, but is there really any clear cut favorite this time around?

Anyone own any futures right now?

North Carolina is a clear cut favorite in my mind.

UNC +300 is as easy as Florida 2 years ago.

I believe the same. I think Pitt and maybe Oklahoma can knock off UNC. That is it.

The only thing that concerns me about OU is bench depth. They don't have a whole lot of it to go through an entire tournament. But their starting 5 is very talented. They'll go as far as Blake Griffin can carry them.
