College basketball fans, March Madness and the 2022 NCAA Tournament are finally here! The bracket is officially out and it’s time to get down to the nitty gritty. 

Which title contender will cut down the nets? Which mid-major team can pull off the surprising first-round upset? How about an under-the-radar team that can make a run to the Final Four in New Orleans? 

As you fill out your brackets and place those wagers, allow us to dive into all 68 teams in the field beforehand. The action gets started with the First Four play-in games in Dayton, Ohio on Tuesday, March 15th and Wednesday, March 16th. Then, the first-round gets started on Thursday, March 17th.  

In this cheat sheet, we’ll provide an in-depth look at every national title contender, possible upsets, Cinderella stories, top players, dark horses, and everything in between. You'll be ready to win those office pools in no time! 

The records, rankings, odds to win and stats are all as of Sunday, March 14th. Also, the odds to win the title and reach the Final Four are via the DraftKings Sportsbook - but you can likely find similar numbers elsewhere. Without further ado, let’s jump in. Happy March Madness, everyone!
