Not far. I’d jump FSU and Creighton over us but nobody else.

Lots of losses. Per usual this season.

Maybe 1 or 2 spots, but hey, look at how often the other top ten teams have lost. I think that win today and going 7-2 on the road in the SEC more than makes up for letting go of the rope v UT. I think we were still celebrating our win over AU and winning the SEC. Today's road win was huge without IQ the last 9 minutes and without Ashton. We should remain at #6 IMO. FYI - Any Katz has UK at No 4 today in his power ratings with only KU, Gonzaga and Dayton ahead of us.

1 spot max if fair. Dook lost to NCST ranked below TN albeit on the road, but by 22 and dropped 1 spot. I know it's Dook so let's play it safe and say 2 spots. Anything more than 2-3 is a joke after going on the road and grabbing another Quad 1 win.

#4 Baylor lost again to lose 3 of 5 and haven't really dropped much.
#5 SDSU lost to #43.
#6 UK lost to #56 and then beat #28 on the road without a starter.
#7 FLST needed a buzzer-beater to beat #59 and then beat #155.
#8 lost today by 17 for 2 losses this week.
#9 Maryland lost to Rutgers and have now lost 3 of 4. (Played once)
#10 U6 lost today to #46 Virginia.


Anyone down farther is too far to jump us. So the 2 right in front of us lost and then #8-9-10 all lost. So if fair we should stay put or drop 1 behind FLST. I don't see how anyone can look at that showing and see many other options.

Out of the top 10 unless Maryland loses to Michigan tomorrow. And Virginia's metoric rise should be fascinating.

A little off topic but anyone else notice the college basketball top 25 scroll on ASPN? Info on each game included, UK score only everything else blank. Only game in the top 25 as such. No mention of Hagans, no mention of the comeback, nothin........they mad!!!!!!!!!

ill say 3 spots to #9.
You may be right, can't trust the AP, but I don't see how a case can be made for anything more than 1 spot.

#4 Baylor lost again to lose 3 of 5 and haven't really dropped much.
#5 SDSU lost to #43.
#6 UK lost to #56 and then beat #28 on the road without a starter.
#7 FLST needed a buzzer-beater to beat #59 and then beat #155.
#8 lost today by 17 for 2 losses this week.
#9 Maryland lost to Rutgers and have now lost 3 of 4. (Played once)
#10 U6 lost today to #46 Virginia.

Who goes ahead of us besides maybe FLST?

Don’t really care about the AP poll now. It’s a new season.Take this momentum from a great comeback win today into the postseason and try to lock up a 2 seed. Get Ashton back to normal and get ready for a run to Atlanta!

Yeah, I think the polls are pretty meaningless at this point (and really at every point, honestly). Win a couple games in the SEC tournament, try to get to that 2 seed line. The polls have no affect on anything.

With all the top ten losses we shouldn’t drop at all, but we are Kentucky. So probably 2 or 3 spots.

The polls tend to mirror seeds a lot more than any metric. I’m sure it will be the same again this year

we will be between 7-9 . Lots of losses around us. We win the SEC T next week and in the final AP poll we will be between 5-6 . Not that it matters just be a 2 or 3 seed and we good.

Beating Fl at their home should cancel the loss to TN....but what do I know.

That’s not really how it works. Wins don’t cancel out losses. 1-1 for the week is what it is. Shouldn’t be a huge penalty but a penalty nonetheless. If wins canceled losses a .500 record would be good.

Duke is poised to make a big leap after winning 2 in a row. They will overtake the cats in the polls for certain. My best stab for top 15.

1. Kansas
2. Gonzaga
3. Dayton
4. Fl. State
5. Duke
6. Baylor
7. UK
8. Creighton
9. SDSU
10. Oregon
11. Mich st.
12. Villanova
13. BYU
14. Seton Hall
15. Maryland

Stop using common sense. It does not work for UK at this time of year.

I would say UK will drop to #7 or #8 in this weeks AP Poll. There has been a number of losses this past week in the Top 25.

I really doubt Kentucky is ranked ahead of Duke next week.
