Handicappers at sports betting companies will have a vastly changed Top 10 as last week’s college football results made for a significant alternation of the landscape.
Texas gets the Boot
The Texas Longhorns suffered the biggest drop as they were kicked out of the top ten after their humiliating 34-12 home loss to UCLA and now rank 21st in the new Associated Press poll. The highly touted Texas defense was exposed as a fraud as the UCLA ground game chewed them up into hamburger. The Horns were previously ranked 7th.
Bama Remains King
The Alabama Crimson Tide remains the top ranked team after their thrilling 24-20 come from behind win at #10 Arkansas, who dropped to 15th in the latest poll after their loss in which they blew a 13 point lead against the BCS champions, who showed their cool and poise in getting the win.
Ohio State Right Behind
Ohio State remains a popular team not just in the AP Poll where they rank 2nd in the nation but also at Sbg global sportsbook where they have paid out in all 4 of their games against the spread.
Boise Broncos Looking to Bust BCS
The Boise State Broncos refuse to go away and remain ranked 3rd in the AP Poll after their 37-24 win over #24 Oregon State, who was kicked out of the Top 25 after suffering their 2nd loss of the season.
Oregon Looking Ducky
The Oregon Ducks continue to garner extra sportsbetting attention after their 42-31 win at Arizona State as they now rank 4th in the country and have arguably the #1 ranked offense in college football.
TCU Leap Frogged
The TCU Horned Frogs were 4th last week and scored a 41-24 win at SMU last Friday night yet that was not good enough for the pollsters as they finished 5th behind the Ducks in this week’s new poll.
Stanford Snubbed?
Many handicappers at sports betting companies believe that the Stanford Cardinal is playing the best football in the country and it has been hard to argue as they are 4-0 and battering teams into submission with their physical style. Notre Dame was the latest victim in a 37-14 home loss and yet Stanford ranks only 9th in the latest poll behind Nebraska, Florida, and Oklahoma respectively. Auburn rounds out the AP Top Ten after their sportsbetting win over South Carolina.
