Florida, Michigan State Current Favorites To Win in Las Vegas

Published on March 17th, 2014 3:01 pm EST
The 68 teams that are eligible for the 2014 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship have now officially been announced, and the countdown to the beginning of "March Madness" is now in full effect.

To nobody's surprise, the top team in the nation, Florida, is currently the favorite to win "March Madness". Next up, Michigan State, fresh off of a victory against Michigan and led by Tom Izzo, has the next best odds of winning the tournament. Michigan State has been picked by many to advance to at least the "Final Four", and their popularity with gamblers shows in the odds, despite the fact that the team is just a Four.

Louisville, who won last year's tournament, currently has the third best odds of winning the tournament.
