When fans and recreational bettors talk about college basketball, the conversation usually begins with the blue bloods. Schools like Duke, North Carolina, UConn, Kentucky, Kansas, etc, are almost always at the forefront of the discussion. However, when college hoops die-hards and for-profit bettors look at the hardwood landscape, that isn’t always the case. So, as we take a quick look at the best NCAAB ATS records so far this season, prepare to see some unfamiliar programs near the top of the board.
Best 2025-26 NCAAB ATS Records
The college hoops season is deep into conference play, and the National Title contenders have separated themselves from the rest of the country. But, win-loss records don’t perfectly reflect how well a team is at covering the spread in their games. Whether it’s the 20-0 consensus No.1 Arizona, or 1-19 Mississippi Valley State, ATS records can, and usually are, completely different. For instance, the Wildcats are just 12-7-1 against the number, while the Delta Devils are hovering just below .500 ATS at 9-10 (non-D1 games are excluded). With that in mind, here’s a look at the best NCAAB ATS Records so far this season.

Oddsmakers spend more time and are much better at setting lines for the big-time schools and national games. This, along with a schedule filled with much stiffer competition, is one of the reasons why the big dogs in college hoops aren’t near the top of this list usually. So the next time you’re shopping NCAAB spreads, consider looking in the direction of the little guys, not just the nationally televised game that evening.
Worst 2025-26 NCAAB ATS Records Right Now
On the other end of the spectrum are the worst performers against the spread this season. Although still mostly made up of smaller programs, there are multiple big-time schools near the bottom in terms of covering the spread this year as well. Again, regardless of high-expectations, books being slow to adjust, or simply poor luck, ATS trends do not perfectly reflect a team’s win-loss record. Make sure to keep that in mind when searching for sides and totals in the future.
