I been loosely trying to jot down when AP top 25 teams are playing and whether they win or lose against the spread.
Some teams have been in and dropped out. Some have been out and then moved up and in. Some have dropped out, then back in. Some were not in to start, moved up and in, and then dropped back out. All in 4 weeks.
If I take all the teams that were at any time in the top 25, and only account for when they were in, I get an overall W/L ATS of 86-69-4(4 pushes, because some lines a half point one way or the other could've been a win or loss. So I just call it a push)
Now here's were it gets tricky. If 2 teams are in AP Top 25 at the time they match-up and I only count the higher team's W or L ATS, and disregard the lower team of the two in the match-up: Meaning in a hypothetical match-up between two AP Top 25 teams - someone would only play the higher ranked team. Regardless if they were the dog. That's happened at least a couple times so far. And the lower of the 2 teams W or L ATS wouldn't count. I know the KU/TT match-up was one, The play would've been on KU since they were higher ranked in the AP even though they were the dog. And the ats loss by TT wouldn't count because the play would've been on KU.
So if I adjust for that - my crappy record keeping gives me a 79-62 ats by just blindly playing the at the time current AP top 25.
Been a lot of top 25 match-ups postponed and/or canceled too.
Also been some AP Top 25 teams that had no lines on certain games because they were playing a D2 school. Or at least there were no widely available lines.
The standouts so far look like Baylor and Tenn, 5-0 and 4-0
For all teams that are, or have been in the AP top 25, this is what I have as W/L ats for at the time being in AP Top25
