With all four 1 seeds -- Duke, Florida, Auburn, and Houston -- a cut above the rest of this year's field by consensus men's college basketball rankings, it's not much of a surprise that their title odds are a cut above all other teams.

In fact, historical data says Duke, Auburn, and Houston are three of the 10 most underrated men's college basketball tournament teams -- yes, even as 1 seeds.

There are some other strong teams in this year's field, but it's clear that there's a Big Four entering this year's tournament.
