02/08/2010 -
New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Connecticut remained a unanimous choice as the
top-ranked team in women's college basketball, as the Associated Press
released its latest poll Monday.
The Huskies (23-0) enter the week with a 62-game winning streak, just eight
shy of the record set by a UConn team from 2001-03. Connecticut received all
40 first-place votes and a total of 1,000 points from a nationwide media panel
to extend its record reign atop the poll to 38 consecutive weeks.
Stanford (21-1), with its only loss coming against UConn, again held at No. 2,
while unbeaten Nebraska (21-0) moved up one spot to third. Notre Dame fell one
spot to fourth, with Tennessee, Xavier, Ohio State, Duke, West Virginia and
Florida State completing this week's top 10.
West Virginia and Florida State moved into the top 10. The Mountaineers slid
up two spots from 11th, while the Seminoles vaulted five spots from 15th.
The second 10 starts with five Big 12 teams -- Baylor, Oklahoma, Texas A&M,
Texas and Oklahoma State -- and concludes with Georgetown, Kentucky, North
Carolina, Georgia and still one more Big 12 team in Iowa State. North Carolina
tumbled nine spots from ninth after losses to Florida State and Miami-Florida
last week.
Georgia Tech, Gonzaga, LSU, TCU and St. John's are the last five teams ranked
this week. TCU is the lone newcomer, replacing Wisconsin-Green Bay. The Horned
Frogs were ranked the previous week before falling out of the poll.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
