Top 10 College Basketball National Championship Picks for 2017-18
It's college basketball time once again which means March will be here before we know it and a champion will be crowned. Here's who I'm picking which is different from ESPN in case you're wondering about that.these teams are just my predictions Also Keep in mind that it's November so expect this to be way off in March.
The obvious favorite of the two teams left. If they shoot like they did against Kansas then you can start making those championship shirts now because this game is over. But I'm expecting a worse shooting day for Nova so it should be close
February Update: I still agree here. They will likely be a #1-#2 seed. They could absolutely win it all

Duke is loaded with talent including Trevon Duval with a returning more mature Grayson Allen lead by coach K. And they look poised for a championship run.
February Update: this team is likely 2nd in the ACC but I think they can beat anyone in the tournament. I still think they are a good pick
Welp not anymore. I guess Grayson Allen's Team got tripped up by Kansas
(sorry I just had to make one last Grayson Allen tripping joke)

February Update: I'm actually unsure about this Jayhawks team. This team is so Jekyll and Hyde that I really don't know how they will do. They could beat anyone or be beaten by anyone.
Of course I think my Jayhawks have a chance. They lost Josh Jackson and Frank Mason but knowing Bill Self's recruiting skills they absolutely have a chance. Devonte Graham leads a solid backcourt and Udoka Azabuike could be a good center.
Now that they got over the elite 8 hump I think they can do it. If they can survive Villanova they should win

February Update: Okay Kentucky is somewhat decent but they are looking at being in the middle of a loaded SEC conference and likely be a 6 seed. This team is nowhere close to championship caliber. I think this team is too young and inexperienced even with the coaching skills of Calpari.
A very young team but they had arguably one of the best offseasons recruiting 7 top 100 players. This is an extremely young team even by Kentucky standards.We've seen young talent succeed before. With Calpari Kentucky is always good

They lost to the Tar Heels in the championship last year. We've seen losers come back to win it the next year before. Can Gonzaga pull it off?

RIP Michigan. Came up short of Nova in the championship game. Still a good season

February Update: another pick that I somewhat agree with. Sparty is likely Big 10 regular season champion. They have won 11 straight games so they are getting into a groove at the right time.

February Update: I feel like Arizona is still a good pick. They are looking to be PAC 12 regular season champions and likely 3 seed. They are definitely a team to watch. However they do have a lot of drama at the moment with Trier ineligible because a team violation and Sean Miller facing the FBI over a recruiting scandal for Deandre Ayton. So depending on how that plays out they might be in trouble down the stretch if they are without their head coach for multiple games


February Update: Honestly I disagree with West Virginia now. They have lost several games and are trending downward. I expect a 4-5 seed. They are an elite 8 team at best. They are aggressive but they are too aggressive as seen against Kansas where they lost by letting the Jayhawks shoot 35 total free throws
Press Virginia is an undeniably aggressive team. Jevon Carter leads a great team with talent on offense and defense


A bit obscure but a move to the American conference really helps the Shocks. They now have the resume they lacked before. Definitely a team to watch. Greg Marshal has done a phenomenal job turning the program around.

A good team in all honesty. They have potential however being defending champions they have to overcome hangover though.


They have made some noise in the tournament before. You just never know with Wisconsin. They could surprise us all.
February Update: Why the hell are they #9? They are 14-16 and not even going to make the tournament!



February Update: I kind of agree with Cincinnati however they could lose to someone like Xavier or Wichita State. They have also had some really close wins against teams they should have beat by a lot. I don't know if they are a national championship team or even a final four team
They are the favorite to win the American conference. Who knows? They're bound to be good
