Kentucky 25 in coaches poll, drops from AP
- Thread starter JimboBBN
- Start date
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.

I wonder how many of these ladies actually played competitive sports at any time in their life, hard to explain how a team wins on the road in the toughest conference……was already ranked…..but yet drops out of the poll???
Of course, smh I hate the coasts. Don’t know which is worse at this point.
Not to mention the clock at 1 second… Michigan sure got that second. Ours was even cleaner.
An unranked SEC conference opponent, on the road win doesn't cause Ga to drop even one spot.OT to beat an unranked team is probably how they see it.
Foolishness.
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.

None of these rankings matter until it gets close to playoff time. Everything else is irrelevant.
Beat LSU by some miracle and this team will be top 15.

Holy **** lol that’s a total joke. Had Florida beaten uscjr on the road yesterday they might just be in the top 5 lol but we drop?
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.

They saw 17-0 and shut down. My brother lives on the West Coast and roots for UK! I called my brother and asked him "when was the last time, that he recalled a ranked team winning on the road and dropping out of the AP polls?" He said the hate is real!
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).
Not the same people doing the poll is the obvious response. Ur comparing dumb journalists to the committee?
We lose to lsu and beat ou and vandy and at 6 and 2 we got a shot at being ranked n first real rankings.

^^That's who left Kentucky out of the Top-25 - you can filter by team to see.
One of them is ESPN's own Rece Davis: https://ironfootball.app/ap-poll/voters/rece-davis/

This is Creg Stephenson with Al.com. This blockhead left Kentucky out of the Top-25.
He also has James Madison ranked #20.
That’s just insane. People saying the BIG is better cracks me up. Just because they won the championship 3 years in a row means jack. The SEC won it like, 15 years straight or some ****?
SEC is boss and just means more. Still can’t believe we fell out the poll. I think it was Oregon that moved up like 6 spots, after a bye week…… and we drop with a road underdog SEC win? Drugs are hell of a thing man.

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.
lol, you can spot a dumbass Democrat a mile away.
Seeing people do the democrat vs republican stuff always makes me laugh. Do yall think either one of those parties give a flying **** about you or anyone else. It's the same team with a line down the middle for people to do what yall are doing. As long as they keep everybody on the hook I guess.
I agree there is not much difference, you are eating a shat sandwich eithier way you vote, the only difference is if you vote Republican you only have to eat 1 shat sandwich and if you vote Democrat you have to eat 2 shat sandwiches. So given the choice I would rather only eat one.
