StatLogic Sports Significant 76 for Dec. 16: NCAA CBB Power Ratings, Betting Edges & Parlay Options

Below please find the 2025-26 NCAA college basketball season's second edition of the StatLogic Sports Significant 76 power ratings. Our weekly betting edges and parlay options for college hoops will be posted below the rankings and updated as the week progresses, so please check back here regularly. We will update and post the rankings and other info every Tuesday for the rest of the college basketball season.

Last weekend we posted our first published betting edges of the season and parlay options via our Twitter/X account. That day our betting edges were 29-9-1 and our money line parlay options went 7-3. Obviously, it was a good day and not every day will be that successful.

Today we have our first edges and parlay options to be posted here on the site. We will continue to post them throughout the week below the Significant 76, so please check back frequently for changes and updates. Prior to publishing our first edges and parlay options of the season, we spent six-plus weeks testing our numbers and tweaking our process. During that test phase, our betting edges won at a 56.2-percent rate over a sample size of more than 450 games, while the parlay options were 75-25 (75 percent).

The combination of those results, along with signs that we have been trending up in recent weeks, were what we needed to see to dive in and start providing readers and followers with the info daily. Given the volume of college basketball games and with football season still active, there may be some days that we are not able to post college hoops info here. We will attempt to post the info on Twitter/X and BlueSky on those days, so make sure to give us a follow.

Here is a look back at how we did last year:
