StatLogic Sports NCAA College Basketball Postseason Positions 3.0: Power Ratings & Betting Edges

Updated March 17 at 2:00 p.m. EDT

The third week of NCAA college basketball's postseason brings us the Big Dance, the NIT and the College Crown. That means it's time for version 3.0 of the StatLogic Sports Postseason Positions, including power ratings, betting edges and parlay options.

After a slow start during the smaller conference tournaments, we ramped it up quite a bit for Bracket Week/Championship Week or whatever you want to call it.

We just call it Winning Week.

Check out our postseason college hoops results to date:

NCAA CBB Postseason Money Line Parlay Options:

54-18 (75.0%)

NCAA CBB Postseason Betting Edges:

59-34 (63.4%) - 32-11 since March 11 (74.4%)

Now, let's throw it back to 2025 to see how we did during the postseason a year ago:

24-25 Postseason College Basketball Record:

CBB Parlay Options: 56-7 (88.9%)

24-25 Postseason CBB Betting Edges: 58-31-1 (65.2%)

     Final 7 Betting Days: 17-5 (77.3%)

     Final 64 Betting Days: 519-363 (58.8%)

24-25 Postseason CBB Bonus Picks: 14-3 (82.4%)

Some basic math indicates that our postseason betting edges are 117-65-1 the last two years, good for a 64.3 percent success rate. Money line parlay options have gone a remarkable 110-25-1 (85.9%).

March and April have been our winningest months in previous years, and our results have only improved during the NCAA, NIT and other national tournaments. So, while we will be hard-pressed to improve upon this year's postseason results to date, if we are able to do that again it could be a lucrative college hoops tournament season for us and anyone who tails.

Please join us. Win or lose, it's one of the best times of the year for sports fans.

Our weekly betting edges and parlay options for the remainder of the college hoops postseason are and will be posted below the Significant 76 Power Ratings. Our ratings have been updated weekly since early, and we will continue to post new money line parlay options and betting edges daily at the bottom of this page!

Here is a friendly reminder for those who only recently joined the college hoops party since the conclusion of the NFL season: Keep in mind that the same is true for many of the betting "analysts" we are exposed to on a regular basis, so there's no guarantee that they know any more about the current state of college hoops than you or any of the rest of us. Be careful when taking advice from others who just happen to have a platform and a bunch of social-media followers or who get paid to talk and entertain us.

On the other hand, here at StatLogic Sports we have followed college hoops since Day 1 of the season way back in November and literally have entered and charted EVERY SINGLE RESULT into our system by hand. For the past two complete NCAA college basketball seasons, the betting edges and parlay options that we have posted throughout those campaigns have been accurate at a profitable rate with a sample size of around 3,000 games.

Our money line parlay options during that span have been correct at nearly a 75-percent rate, while our betting edges have proven to be winners at nearly a 60-percent rate. As we noted above, those numbers have only gotten better during the postseason.

Two years ago we finished the March-April college hoops postseason stretch up 15 units. We can quantify last year's results in a little more detail:

2025-26 Regular Season Breakdown

Back in December we posted our first published betting edges of the season and parlay options via our Twitter/X account. That day our betting edges were 29-9-1 and our money line parlay options went 7-3. Obviously, it was a good day and not every one will be that successful.

The following week we posted our college basketball edges and parlay options here on the website for the first time this season. Prior to publishing our first edges and parlay options of the season, we spent six-plus weeks testing our numbers and tweaking our process. During that test phase, our betting edges won at a 56.2-percent rate over a sample size of more than 450 games, while the parlay options were 75-25 (75 percent).

With so many games and quick turnaround times during the postseason, anything that we don't have time to post here will be posted (along with other advice and info) on Twitter/X and BlueSky, so make sure to give us a follow. Ultimately we will transfer all of those selections to this page for posterity.
