Online sports betting has unbeaten Kansas, Texas and Villanova in the top three spots of the latest AP college basketball poll. The Jayhawks routed Alcorn State and UCLA last week in sportsbetting while Texas took care of USC in online sports betting. Villanova was impressive in wins over Drexel and against Maryland.
Online sports betting had unbeaten Kentucky at #4 this week. They got a very good sportsbetting win against North Carolina on Saturday. Purdue is still unbeaten and they come in at #5. They defeated Wake Forest and Buffalo last week. The rest of the online sports betting Top 10 is West Virginia, Syracuse, Duke, Tennessee and Florida.
The second ten as online sportsbetting had it was led by North Carolina at #11. Michigan State is 12th followed by Ohio State, Connecticut, Georgetown, Texas A&M, Washington, UNLV, Cincinnati and Wisconsin. Gonzaga is #21 with Butler at #22. Four new teams moved into the AP poll as online sports betting showed. Wisconsin debuted at #20 while Texas Tech came in at #23 followed by Georgia Tech at #24 and Mississippi which enters the rankings for the first time at #25. The four teams that dropped out as online sportsbetting showed were Clemson, Florida State, Louisville and Portland.
Wisconsin got into the online sportsbetting rankings based on their 73-69 win over Duke this past week. Texas Tech upset Washington last week to move into the Top 25 for the first time since 2004-2005. Georgia Tech has won five straight since a loss to Dayton. Mississippi has won three straight online sportsbetting matches since losing 79-67 to third-ranked Villanova in the championship game of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off.
Clemson blew a 23-point online sports betting lead and lost to Illinois so it is no surprise to see them drop out. Louisville was blown out by Charlotte in online sportsbetting so it may be some time before the Cardinals are ranked again. Florida State lost at Ohio State to cost themselves a spot in the online sportsbetting rankings while Portland lost twice after getting into the Top 25 for the first time in 50 years.
This is a good week for sportsbetting matchups in the Top 25. Butler and Georgetown play in the Jimmy V Classic on Tuesday and Kentucky and Connecticut meet in the Big East/SEC Invitational on Wednesday. Syracuse and Florida play on Thursday in sportsbetting while on Saturday it is Ohio State playing Butler while Georgetown faces Washington.
