There are only three weeks left in the college basketball regular season. Now with football officially over, more and more people are looking to bet on college hoops.

I am starting to get a lot of questions about certain teams heading into March. People are looking ahead to both conference tournaments and March Madness and want to know which teams they should be monitoring and which ones are fool's gold. 

We know Auburn, Alabama and Duke are legitimate title contenders. However, there are many others that can either be described as contenders or pretenders, not only long-term but for the rest of the regular season. 

This week I'll break down some of the hot-button teams in college basketball and give my thoughts on if they are contenders or pretenders.
