Here's what to know about the NCAA college hoops title oddsboard:

The Favorite: Early in the season, it was crowded atop the oddsboard, with Purdue, Duke and Houston. But then Michigan separated from the pack. However, over the last week, the Wolverines' odds have moved to +400 from +390. UM was ranked No. 7 in the preseason but now sits at No. 3. The Wolverines have been dominating so far this season, beating San Diego State by 40, Auburn by 30, Gonzaga by 40 and USC by 30.

Making Moves: Arizona is off to an impressive 18-0 start to its season and has surged up the board from +1300 since the beginning of December. Over the last week, the Wildcats' odds shortened to +550 from +700, as they closed the gap with Michigan. Some of the Wildcats' most notable wins have come over UCLA, UConn, Auburn and Alabama. Koa Peat leads the team in points, averaging 14.7 ppg, and Tobe Awaka leads the squad in rebounds (9.8). Arizona is currently ranked No. 1 in the country.

Falling Cyclones: Last week, Iowa State was fourth on this board at +1000. After losing to Kansas and to Cincinnati, the Cyclones are now seventh on this list and are sitting at +1400 odds to win it all. In State's Jan. 17, 79-70 loss to Cincy, the Bearcats forced 12 Cyclones turnovers, scoring 20 points off of them. Not only did Iowa State's recent back-to-back losses drop them on the oddsboard, but the Cyclones also fell in the rankings, moving to No. 9 from No. 2.
