Here is the pre-tournament KenPom data for the champions over the last 25 years, including the current data for Auburn this year.
19 of the 23 had a better ORtg ranking than DRtg ranking.
20 of the 23 had an overall rank in the top 6.
17 of the 23 had an ORtg rank in the top 6.
Based on that, the most likely champion this year (if these were the final numbers) would be us, Florida, or Alabama. Crazy.

Champ will be Duke, Auburn, Florida, or Alabama.
