Sportbook has favored Florida, Alabama, Texas, TCU and Cincinnati in almost every game this season and those five teams lead the AP Top 25 college football poll. Florida is again #1 while Alabama is at #2 followed by Texas, TCU and Cincinnati. There are still critical games remaining as the college football offshore sportsbook season winds down and the poll will change.

The Tar Heels were ranked earlier in the sportbook season but lost their first three conference games to fall out of the Top 25. They have gotten hot though, winning four straight as sportbook results show and now are back into the AP rankings. The ACC has five teams ranked in the Top 25 and that is the most of any college football conference. This sportbook week there were three teams that fell out of the AP Top 25 poll. Those teams were Stanford, Wisconsin and Rutgers.
This week in sportbook action favored Texas against Texas A&M on Thursday while Alabama is favored at Auburn on Friday. Saturday’s action at the offshore sportsbook has #1 Florida favored against Florida State.
