Surprise, surprise, it looks like the Gonzaga Bulldogs and Baylor Bears are set to meet again in the 2022 National Championship Game. At least, according to the oddsmakers.

After one of the wilder and more dramatic NCAA Tournaments in recent memory, the two top teams in college basketball have been given the best odds to rematch next year. Gonzaga, despite the loss on Monday, sits on top of the odds list at +900 to win the 2022 NCAA Tournament, while Baylor comes in second with +1200, tied with, surprisingly enough, the Cinderella darlings of UCLA.

All three teams are poised to make a run at the title once more. While Gonzaga is set to lose stars Jalen Suggs and Corey Kispert, Drew Timme could be back after an outstanding sophomore season. The Bulldogs are the favorite to land star prospect Chet Holmgren, and they could get Walker Kessler on the transfer market.

The Bears will likely be losing stars Jared Butler and Davion Mitchell to the draft, as well as key starters in MaCio Teague and Mark Vital. However, there's a lot of depth in place and a strong recruiting class on the way for head coach Scott Drew.

Finally, UCLA's core is still young. Johnny Juzang has ice in his veins and will only be a junior if he returns to school. All the other key players from the Bruins' Final Four squad are expected to return.

There are still plenty of NBA Draft decisions to be made, so a lot could change ahead of next season. But these three teams should be right in the mix to win it all in 2022.
