There is a new favorite that wins the NCAA tournament for men 2025.

Florida is now the team with the best chances of winning the national title at BetmGM after the Gators defeated Tennessee for the Sec tournament on Sunday. Florida, the seed No. 1 in the West region, is now +350 to win everything.

The Gators won 12 of their last 13 games and took part in the tournament with a 30:4 record. All four of these losses are against teams that have made the NCAA tournament: Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Missouri.

Duke is right behind Florida at +360 to win everything. The Blue Devils dominated the ACC and won the ACC tournament, although Cooper Flaggs left ankle injury. Flagg, the potential No. 1 in the NBA design of 2025, will probably play in the NCAA tournament.

Auburn is the overall victory of number 1 in the tournament and is at +400. The regular champions of the SEC lost three of their last four games and received a strange draw in the selection on Sunday. The Tiger travel to Lexington, Kentucky in the first and second round, and could play Louisville in the second round when the Cardinals defeat Creighton.

Houston, the top seed in the middle west, is +600 to win everything. The Cougars won both the Big 12 title of the regular season and the tournament title when they carried out the conference.

There is also a large gap between Houston and everyone else. Alabama is number 5 at +1200 and Tennessee is +1400. The volunteers have one of the best defenses in the country, while Alabama is hoping for a fully healthy scholarship Nelson for the tournament.

There are some relative surprises in the chances of winning even according to these SEC teams. While the remaining favorites are generally the higher teams in the tournament, both Uconn and Gonzaga are at +5000 to win everything. The huskies and bulldogs are both No. 8 seeds and would pull the number 1 seeds in the second round. But their tournament trees – Uconn will finally have a third national title in a row – have significantly reduced their chances.
