Each March since 2019, we've polled 25 college coaches and NBA scouts for their pick to win the men's national championship. While there's usually a clear favorite among industry sources, there's also plenty of disagreement.
Last season, there were eight different teams picked to win it all. In 2022, there were 11. There were only three picked for the bubble tournament, but six back in 2019. All four years, there was at least one vote for the eventual winner.
But we've never had a runaway favorite like this year.
