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.
And Pitt just lost their damn QB for the year.

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.
Yeah I’ve been watching for like 45 years. Often we didn’t deserve the respect or we shot ourselves in the foot. Nice to see us go out and take a few.

Apparently several voters dropped us completely, which admittedly is a head scratcher. If you had us at 25 and left us there while moving someone else from 24 to 20 or whatever, I guess I could see that in some cases.

But if you think we were top 25 last week, watched us go on the road and win as an underdog, and still dropped us - hope someone behind us was really impressive. You are kind of telling on yourself.

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.
They did have Louisville ranked. So their football acumen is clearly in question.

This may be the first time in AP poll history a team loses their ranking after beating an SEC team on the road.

If we could get into the B1G, I’d jump out of the SEC in a flat second. We’ve never been treated like an SEC team. But we don’t have the academic rigor to get accepted into the B1G.

Half the voters probably didn’t watch a single game yesterday. Not you but a lot of people think there’s like 20 guys voting when there’s a hundred or so and they’re just looking at scores and records. Half the female voters on there probably write for the fashion section.

Yeah, the AP shouldn’t even have a vote honestly. Leave it up to people who cover it for a living at least and watch games.

From AP:

AP Top 25 voters are writers and broadcasters who cover college football for organizations that are members of the AP.

AP employees do not vote, but they do choose the voters. In recent years, the number of voters has been around 63, and they come from all over the country.

Every state with a Bowl Subdivision school is represented by at least one voter, and the total of number of voters from each state increases with the number of FBS teams. There are also four spots reserved for national voters.


It was my understanding that the voters and the way they vote were made public but I don't see that anywhere. It would be interesting to see just who dropped Kentucky and why.

I’m pretty sure I read Pitt lost their starting QB for the season too so they won’t last.

Don’t know how accurate but saw on Twitter that this was the first time since 2012 that a team won a road game and fell out of the poll (Boise State) and the first time since 2002 it’s happened in the SEC (Tennessee).

No one pays attention to any almost and sports media any more, especially AP voters lol. All have an agenda, most are STUPID as possible, biased beyond belief, it is what it is. At least coaches know whats up. F the AP. Every day and 2x on Sunday.
