Online sports betting has four unbeatens, Kansas, Texas, Kentucky and Purdue holding the top four positions in the latest AP college basketball poll. Those four teams are the only remaining teams unbeaten in college basketball. Kansas has been number one in the sportsbetting poll since the preseason.
Online sports betting had Kansas getting 56 of the 65 first place votes while #2 Texas got eight votes and Kentucky got one. Purdue is at #4 in the poll followed by Duke and Villanova. Syracuse and West Virginia dropped this week to seventh and eighth as both suffered sportsbetting losses last week. North Carolina is at #9 while Michigan State completes the Top 10.
The second ten begins with Kansas State who continues to impress in online sports betting. Georgetown is at #12 and they are followed by Connecticut, Mississippi, New Mexico, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Florida State, Gonzaga and Georgia Tech. The last five teams in the rankings are Temple, Texas Tech, Pittsburgh, Washington and BYU. There are four newcomers to the poll this week. They are Gonzaga, Georgia Tech, Pittsburgh and BYU. Gonzaga and Georgia Tech have been ranked before and returned to the rankings this week. Gonzaga got a nice sportsbetting win at Illinois while Georgia Tech has won three straight. Pittsburgh has won five straight including an upset of Syracuse this past week in online sports betting. BYU has scored at least 80 points in nine games this season and could be a team to watch all season in sportsbetting. They have a very interesting team that can play with anyone.
Kansas has been rolling along in online sports betting as has Texas but both teams could get tested this week. Kansas has won nine games this season by 25 points or more but they should get a battle in online sports betting on Sunday as they face 16th ranked Tennessee.
The teams that dropped from the AP poll this week were Ohio State, Clemson, UAB and Northwestern. Ohio State may not return to the poll again for a long time. They lost to Michigan and Wisconsin last week and are not the same team without Evan Turner. Northwestern probably won’t be back either as they lost to Illinois and Michigan State last week.
This online sports betting week there are five games where ranked teams play against each other. Wednesday it will be Wisconsin at Michigan State. Saturday it is Wisconsin hosting Purdue, Connecticut at Georgetown and Duke at Georgia Tech. Sunday it is Kansas at Tennessee.
