Annie Andrews is giving Democrats something they rarely have in South Carolina: a credible challenger with real momentum. Her odds have jumped from roughly 9% in early February to around 21% by late March, and with Democrats continuing to overperform in special elections and polling, Lindsey Graham suddenly looks more vulnerable than he has in years.
Michigan has been the most talented and complete team in the country all season, and with Dusty May’s coaching, the nation’s best defense, eight capable scorers and playmakers, and an ideal tournament path, the Wolverines have everything needed to finish the year with a national championship.
UCF has enough guard play and three-point shooting to make UCLA uncomfortable early, but with Tyler Bilodeau and Donovan Dent back at full strength and the Bruins playing some of their best basketball of the season, UCLA should gradually pull away and cover the number.
Arizona has become the public’s pick to win the national championship thanks to its 32-2 record, elite seven-man rotation, and massive betting support, but with that spotlight comes pressure, as anything short of a Final Four run will bring real criticism to Tommy Lloyd and the Wildcats.
After being snubbed from the College Football Playoff, Notre Dame enters 2027 with a “Leave No Doubt” mindset, a favorable schedule, a rising star in CJ Carr, an elite defense, and the kind of stability under Marcus Freeman that makes the Irish the team to beat.

The Alaska Senate race between Mary Peltola and Dan Sullivan now looks like a true dead heat, and with Democratic momentum rising nationally in a state that has always been difficult to poll and predict, this contest could play a major role in deciding control of the U.S. Senate.
Wisconsin may be only a projected five seed, but with elite guard play, a rotation full of shooters, big wins over top competition, and strong late-season form, the Badgers look like exactly the kind of dangerous team that could make a deep NCAA tournament run.
