01/11/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Connecticut remained a unanimous choice as the top women's basketball team in the country, according to the latest Associated Press poll.
The Huskies (15-0) again left no doubt as to their standing in the women's game, running their winning streak to 54 games on Saturday with an 88-47 rout of then-No. 7 North Carolina. They also beat No. 2 Stanford earlier this season.
UConn 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 34th straight poll.
Stanford remained second and was again followed by Notre Dame and Tennessee. Ohio State moved up one spot to fifth, with Georgia, Duke, Texas A&M, Baylor and North Carolina completing this week's top 10. The Tar Heels dropped three places after their loss to UConn, while Baylor dropped four spots after a loss to Oklahoma State.
The second 10 consists of Nebraska, LSU, Oklahoma, Xavier, Oklahoma State, Florida State, Wisconsin-Green Bay, West Virginia, Texas and Michigan State. Oklahoma State moved up eight spots from 23rd.
Georgia Tech, TCU, Virginia, Georgetown and Miami-Florida are the last five teams ranked this week. Georgetown and Miami are new to the poll this week, replacing Vanderbilt and Kansas.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
