2025 College basketball futures, predictions: Proven expert reveals prop play, championship value rankings

It was another crazy week in college basketball. Kansas fell to Houston at home after a wild ending in regulation sent the game into two overtimes. Auburn survived over Tennessee in a low-scoring rock fight that kept the Tigers atop the SEC standing. 

Entering the week, I think Duke, Auburn and Houston have separated themselves as the top three teams with Alabama, Florida and Iowa State knocking on the door. Those look like the six most complete teams as we close out January. 

Each week I'll take a look at the college basketball futures market to give my best bet and longshot value rankings to win the 2024-25 National Championship.
