By now, you’ve surely heard about how much parity there is in college basketball and how that could make for yet another unpredictable tournament. In order for that to happen, though, a team or two have to emerge as a Cinderella from the field of 68, and pull off a couple upsets to make us start paying attention.
Last year, we saw 9-seed Florida Atlantic ride that type of wave all the way to a Final Four that also included two other teams making their first ever appearance in the national semifinals. Princeton also made a nice run to the Sweet 16 as a 15-seed.
So, who might that team be in this year’s field? These are the best bets from each region, with title odds from BetMGM, and a few honorable mentions.
