Michigan’s +1200 2026 Final Four Odds Trail Duke, Florida, Who Lead the Field—Where Does It Land?
Duke and Florida Set Pace
Duke tops the listed odds at +134, with Florida next at +164. UConn is third at +300, followed by Illinois at +310. Michigan State is listed at +450, while Texas is +475 and Louisville is +520. Arizona sits at +550, with St. Johns at +590 and Texas Tech at +640.
Michigan’s Position Raises Questions
The odds list places Michigan at +1200. However, the accompanying account says the defending champions are at +1000 and rank 20th, so the two figures do not match.
The list includes LSU at +1000 and places Michigan near its bottom. It does not explain the discrepancy between that ranking and the claim that Michigan is 20th.
A Champion With Key Changes
Last year’s Final Four included Michigan, UConn, Arizona and Illinois, with Michigan winning the championship. UConn, Illinois and Arizona are now listed third, fourth and seventh, respectively. Michigan lost coach Dusty May to the NBA and forward Yaxel Lendeborg, who had been a first-team All-American and Big Ten Player of the Year. Elliot Cadeau, last season’s NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player, is returning.
Key points
- Duke leads the listed odds at +134, ahead of Florida at +164.

- Michigan returns Elliot Cadeau but lost Dusty May and Yaxel Lendeborg.
