The 2024-2025 college basketball season began in November of 2024 and will conclude in April of 2025 with the NCAA Basketball Championship game. The Men’s NCAA Basketball Championship Tournament will have 68 teams competing in a single-elimination tournament that begins on March 18, 2025 and concludes with the title game on April 7, 2025 in San Antonio, Texas. The Auburn Tigers, who are ranked No. 1 in the country are the current favorite to win the title but they will be without one of the best players in the country for a while, as star center Johni Broome is out with an ankle injury. Right behind Auburn is the Duke Blue Devils, who are a popular team with the public, but haven’t won a title since 2015, the Iowa State Cyclones, Houston Cougars, Alabama Crimson Tide, Florida Gators and Kentucky Wildcats. College basketball futures odds change on a weekly basis, so keep an eye on the rankings as the season progresses to see who the oddsmakers like to win the 2024-2025 college basketball title and keep in mind that you can bet on college basketball futures at any time during the season.

NCAA Basketball Championship Odds

*Odds as of Monday, January 20, 1:00 PM ET

Auburn Tigers

The Tigers have just one loss on the season and that was on the road against Duke. The Tigers are coming off wins against Mississippi State and Georgia last week and Auburn did it without their best player, Johni Broome. Auburn is listed as the current favorite in college basketball futures odds to win the national title. The Tigers have just one game this week but it will be a tough one, as they host a Tennessee team on Saturday that had been ranked No. 1 until just recently.

Duke Blue Devils

The Blue Devils have played a tough schedule so far this season and it always helps teams to play the best teams in preparation for the conference season. Duke has their win over Auburn and they are just behind with the Tigers in terms of college basketball futures odds. The Blue Devils are coming off routs over Miami and Boston College last week. Duke has just one game this week, as they will visit Wake Forest on Saturday.

Iowa State Cyclones

A team that definitely is starting to get respect is Iowa State. They broke into the rankings last week, but they couldn’t handle their success, as they were beaten at West Virginia last Saturday. That loss was crushing because the Cyclones had beaten Kansas earlier in the week. Iowa State will host Central Florida on Tuesday and then travel for a game at Arizona State on Saturday.

Houston Cougars

The Cougars are one of the top contenders in college basketball futures odds. Houston has done what was expected of late, beating teams that they should beat. They looked really good in a win over Central Florida last week and they found a way to get past a good West Virginia team. The Cougars host Utah on Tuesday and then face a real test on Saturday, as they visit a ranked Kansas team.

Alabama Crimson Tide

The Crimson Tide have two losses so far this season but you can make a case they have played one of the toughest schedules in the country. They beat Houston and Rutgers in Las Vegas and then lost to Oregon on a last second shot. The also beat Illinois and North Carolina and lost to Purdue. The Crimson Tide had a lookahead loss to Ole Miss last week but then the Crimson Tide went on the road and beat Kentucky. The Tide have two games at home this week that they should win as they play Vanderbilt on Tuesday and LSU on Saturday.

Florida Gators

The Florida Gators are starting to get some attention in college basketball futures. The Gators have some good wins this season as they have beaten North Carolina and Tennessee. The Gators are coming off a rout last week against Texas. The Gators will visit South Carolina on Wednesday and then host Georgia on Saturday.

Kentucky Wildcats

It is probably time to start paying attention to Kentucky. They are coming off the loss to Alabama last week, but Kentucky scores a ton of points and will be a force to reckon with in the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats have just one game this week as they visit Vanderbilt on Saturday.
