Connecticut continues reign atop poll

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

01/18/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Connecticut is again a unanimous choice as the top-ranked team in women's college basketball, as the latest Associated Press poll was released Monday.

The Huskies (17-0) ran their winning streak to 56 games last week with dominant wins over Marquette and then-No. 3 Notre Dame -- the latter a 70-46 drubbing.

UConn, which has won each of its games during the streak by double digits, again received all 40 first-place votes and a total of 1,000 points from a nationwide media panel to keep the top spot for a 35th straight poll.

Stanford, a Connecticut victim earlier this season, remained second, but Notre Dame's loss on Saturday dropped the Fighting Irish one spot into fourth. Tennessee moved up one spot into third.

Ohio State, Duke, Nebraska, Georgia, Texas A&M and Baylor complete this week's top 10. Nebraska vaulted four spots from 11th after wins over Texas and Baylor last week.

The second 10 consists of Xavier, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Florida State, West Virginia, Wisconsin-Green Bay, LSU, Georgetown and Texas. The Tar Heels were 10th last week before a loss to Virginia Tech.

Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech, TCU, Vermont and Virginia are the last five teams ranked this week. Vanderbilt and Vermont moved into the poll, replacing Michigan State and Miami-Florida.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6  

The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.

Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com.  "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.

It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis.  It's like Week 1 of the NFL.  Pre-season means nada!

We do know the 24 finalists however.

Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24.  He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway.  He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien. 

Brandon Rogers - Who?

Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition.  He should go a good distance.

Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was.  And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition.  He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice!  People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way. 

"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks.  He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes.  But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.

A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”

Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes. 

"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate.  "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past.  He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far.  Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."

Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts) 

And the others:

Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter

The girls

"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis.  "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has.  The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive.  I think she will go far."

Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.

"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams.  Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth.  "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.

Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.

Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.

Antonella Barba
Gina Glocksen
Hailey Scanardo
Jordan Sparks
Stephanie Edwards
Leslie Hunt
Sabrina Sloan
