Using "mathematical algorithms" developed by TeamRankings.com, ESPN has the odds of every team in the tournament winning the championship. Ohio State is the favorite at 25.1 percent. They also have a 56.1 percent shot at making the final four.
There is also a 50.6 percent chance the 2010-11 NCAA champion will be one of the big three number one seeds (Ohio State, Kansas, Duke). That means there is less than a 50 percent chance that the winner will be one of the other 61 teams in the field.
There are only 15 teams with at least a 1.0 percent shot at being crowned champs. Texas might be the most underrated team in the field, with a 5.5 percent chance of winning despite only being seeded fourth. Meanwhile, Florida, a 2-seed playing in what many consider the weakest bracket, only has a 0.9 percent chance.
