We compute the differential and total rate of the semileptonic decay of polarized top quarks 
at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the QCD coupling with an off-shell intermediate 
boson. We present several normalized distributions, in particular those that reflect the 
-spin analyzing powers of the lepton, the b-jet and the 
boson at LO and NLO QCD.
