Kentucky 25 in coaches poll, drops from AP

[JimboBBN]

After South Carolina win. lol can’t make this **** up.

 

[Zannman]

How do you drop out with an SEC road win?

 

[legalbeagle123]

Lolz, absolutely ridiculous.

 

[CatsDomain]

OT to beat an unranked team is probably how they see it.

 

[OldScratchBlues]

So let's see... Win on the road in the SEC as an underdog but drop...
What a complete joke these people that vote.

 

[jeffky]

Unbelivable we get no respect

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

Pin it to the wall and let it propel UK to victory over LSU.

 

[entropy13]

AP Poll voters are a bunch of retarded, crossdressing Communists.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

All the more fuel for us to beat LSU's ***

 

[OldScratchBlues]

Beat LSU we'll probably drop from others receiving votes...

 

[Nightwish]

Looks like they dropped us to fit Pitt in who is 5-0 but yeah, no respect either way. Ranked but an underdog on the road, still won, and dropped two spots and out lol. Then next week if we lose to LSU, we'll likely drop a few more spots to around 30th. Okay. Meanwhile they had Louisville's dumbasses ranked 16th a couple weeks back.

 

[BigBluefoot]

Complete BS per usual.
I was debating with someone on here a few weeks back on how Louisville should have moved down at least 1 spot after losing to Ole Miss, yet they didn't. When we definitely would have. Yet we win on the road to a favored team and drop out of the rankings. Rest assured some idiot on here will attempt to justify this subjective nonsense with some spin as if it's some standardized scientific method with these rankings.

 

[bpsteve1972]

Wow! That is correct, win and drop out!

 

[bpsteve1972]

I wonder if the ballots were already cast? Hmmm

 

[ZakkW]

Polls are stupid, useless, and irrelevant these days and should be done away with. That being said AP voters as a whole are clueless morons who breathe from their respective mouths and wear combat boots.

 

[KyCPA2000]

Right or wrong, I think the FPI has us toward the bottom in the SEC even though we are 4-1

 

[OldScratchBlues]

Can't tell me these voters don't have skin in the game...
Florida beats ole miss and jump 13 points in the polls..
Florida then proceeds to get table slammed by 25th ranked mizzou and Florida only drops 8 spots.
Yeah ooookayyy.

 

[DudahUK]

They should strip every AP voter of their duties for this alone. Like seriously? An SEC road win as underdogs and we drop out? I’ll never pay attention to that poll again.

 

[BigBluefoot]

I wonder if the ballots were already cast? Hmmm

 

[bpsteve1972]

Regardless of the FPI, all of my years of watching collegiate football/basketball I've never seen a team Win and drop out of the polls! Coaches raised them 2 spots lol

 

[DudahUK]

I wonder if the ballots were already cast? Hmmm

That would be the only thing that makes sense but the game was at 4:15. If that’s too late for them and they needed to vote earlier, what exactly is the point of the poll to begin with? Like, half the games were undecided at that point. Dumb SOB’s.

 

[DudahUK]

Beat LSU we'll probably drop from others receiving votes...

If we beat LSU, we will never be ranked again. lol. What a crock of BS.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Beat LSU we'll probably drop from others receiving votes...

With the excuse that we won only because we were mad about dropping out the week prior

 

[dckala2_]

No one wants to see a good Kentucky football team but every other team in the league can get glazed in basketball down to f’n Georgia. Well too bad, good Kentucky football is f’n here.

this is the same South Carolina team that the same AP thought was playoff bound. Prolly just mad they suck at their job and their opinion is worthless.

 

[jrpross_rivals]

Not gonna lie, that’s kinda hilarious. I guess if they beat LSU, they won’t even get any votes because the margin of victory should have been higher at home.

 

[Dward13]

An sec team winning a conference game on the road as an underdog and dropping out of the rankings has to be a first. 4-1 against the 4th hardest schedule in the country and unranked…

…the conspiracist in me is telling myself this is because the rest of college football despises Lane Kiffin so much they’re trying to give his next opponent as much motivation is possible.

 

[The Ganner]

Even weirder than just "we dropped out after a win." We dropped out despite getting more votes than last week. We were at 150 last week and 160 this week, other teams just gained more than we gained and fewer teams splitting votes (10 also receiving votes this week vs 15 last week). So, we fell out even though we may have had no individual voters drop us. Statistical quirk.

 

[katwest]

The AP sucks nobody pays attention to that anymore and now you can see why. I don’t think Florida or Mississippi State are better than Kentucky, but boy they do. South Carolina would have been up big on ANY team the first half last night with the talk all week of saving Beamers job and all the heart to heart meetings. Winning against a very emotional team and coaching staff on the road in front of 80.000 people, should at least keep your place in the rankings. Dropping any team that wins in that kind of atmosphere is just plain ignorant. The associated press has lost their place in today’s world and has been irrelevant for a while.

 

[Aike]

We had 150 points last week for 24th. 160 points this week for 26th. So it was more of a quirk than anything, but the kind of thing that seems to always happen to us.

We are indeed wizzing a lot of people off. Love it.

 

[bpsteve1972]

Still perplexing

 

[3 Putts]

It’s because the online east coast bitching last week about us getting in over Pitt and Duke.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

That pass called incomplete yesterday should tell you all you need to know about how college football views UK. They don’t want UK to be good or have any momentum. It’s a big club and we aren’t in it.

 

[OldScratchBlues]

3rd-4th hardest schedule.. look at the teams 21-25 and their sorry *** schedules.

 

[Anon1751552885]

The voters must be the same people in the review booth.

Kentucky doesn’t get any respect on the field or in the media in football, never have. Now today their saying that we got the snap off in time in regulation. Also The catch that was ruled no catch was a catch. Stinchcomb knew it was and said it 2 or 3 times afterwards. Its hard for Kentucky to ever win games on the road because we have to overcome at least one bad call a game. Even at home the calls don’t go our way very often.

[HRPopeNstuff]

Pitt has beaten a bunch of blind girl school teams.....and the biggest win they have is against Va Tech who hasn't beaten anyone this season.

 

[mhs1964]

This exactly explains what I have mentioned on numerous posts on this site. The regional bias and the hatred/jealousy of the SEC never allows voters to determine strength of schedule and records mean everything even if all their wins were against horrible teams. All of the voters in ACC land had to try get another team or two, other than Miami.
