Updated odds still don't love Auburn and Tennessee's chances to win NCAA title
The Auburn Tigers and Tennessee Volunteers have been two of the biggest surprises in the country this year.
Neither were expected to do much, but they are the SEC’s top two teams as things stand heading into the stretch run.
However, they aren’t getting much love from oddsmakers, as both the Tigers and the Vols have +4,000 odds to win the NCAA title this year, as you can see in the tweet from OddsShark below:
Odds to win the #NCAAB National Championship @BovadaLV:
MSU +500
Villanova +550
UVA +550
Duke +600
Purdue +700
Arizona +1800
Cincinnati +1800
Kansas +2000
Xavier +2000
WVU +2800

UNC +2800
Gonzaga +3000
Ohio State +3000
Auburn +4000
Tennessee +4000— OddsShark (@OddsShark) February 17, 2018
That puts Auburn and Tennessee tied for the 15th-best odds to win it all, which seems a bit ridiculous considering all they’ve accomplished so far.
There’s still time left in the season, though, so it’ll be interesting to see if either squad can earn some more love from oddsmakers before the NCAA Tournament tips off in March.
