Here's what to know about the NCAA college hoops title oddsboard:
The Favorite: Early in the season, it was crowded atop the oddsboard, with Purdue, Duke and Houston. However, a new team has emerged and separated itself from the pack: the 8-0 Michigan Wolverines. UM was the preseason No. 7, but now sits at No. 2 and received 19 first-place votes ahead of Week 6. The Wolverines have been dominating well-known brands so far this season, beating San Diego State by 40, Auburn by 30, Gonzaga by 40 and Villanova by 28.
Making Moves: Arizona has had an impressive start to its season, with wins over Florida, UCLA, UConn and Auburn in its first eight games, earning it the No. 1 spot in the AP Poll. However, it still sits sixth on the oddsboard to win the title. Despite its loss to Zona, UConn is second on the board, owning wins over BYU, Illinois, Kansas and Florida. The biggest mover, however? Iowa State. The Cyclones are the fourth-ranked team in the country after entering the season ranked No. 16. They now have the fourth-shortest odds to win the national title, boasting a 9-0 record that includes wins over St. John's and at then-No. 1 Purdue on Dec. 7.
