What this question means

Miami at 65%, SMU at 13%, Virginia at 5%, Louisville at 4%, then Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech at 3% and a long tail across a seventeen-team field.

Compare with the SEC question on this board, where the leader sits at 26% and three programmes share the top. Same sport, same season, same kind of question — and one conference has a commanding favourite while the other is a scramble.

That difference is real rather than an artefact of pricing. Conference strength is not uniform: some leagues concentrate talent among a few programmes while others spread it, and the shape of the forecast reflects how many teams are genuinely capable of winning.

It is a useful reminder when comparing numbers across questions. A 65% favourite in one conference and a 26% favourite in another does not mean the first team is better — it means it faces a shallower field.
