Favorite for NCAA 2008 basketball champion?

Who do you think the favorite is to win the 2008 NCAA men's basketball championship? I know it's a bit early to discuss, but I am already looking forward to the next season!! Please don't just name your favorite team either. Give me a solid reason in a few sentences why the team you are picking could/should win it all.

1. duke, because they will have a team with more experience and a good, very good coach!
2. TAR HEELS....yeah its my fav team but u cant say there not in the conversation. reasons....recruiting like a mother,another year better,coach Williams and the ACC is not as strong as past years when it was Duke and everybody else. i am also anxious to see if mayo and USC might can pull a mello and Syracuse type run out of there hat.
3. i think it will be ucla because they are returning a lot of good players back. And they did good last year in the tourment and players are come back.
4. Illinois Fighting Illini. They have a great team overall and with an awesome coach, they are unstoppable next year!
5. USC Trojans.
6. flodia gators
7. the UCLA bruins. though yes they are my favorite team, i do believe they have great chances because, even though they lost Afflalo they are returning all their other starters plus incoming freshmen Kevin Love. they play good team ball and have a good,, no great history in the tournament. and i also believe they deserve a championship but that's just my opinion. GO BRUINS
