#28 in ESPN Power Rankings (ahead of UK and one behind MSU.) Probably not in this week.
UK not being in the top 25 is a travesty. 5-1 with a win over a top 10 opponent.

As to SC being ranked. I don't see it happening any time soon. 3-3 with a "signature win" over a UF team that has 2 bad losses and is now being described as a bad team by the pundits isn't going to get any team ranked in the top 25.

UK will get it this week because human votes look at records more closely. Computers measure overall strength.

We beat UT in two weeks we'll probably be in, If they beat BAMA and we knock them off, probably in the Top 20.

Kentucky should be ranked this week, looking at their remaining schedule, they should be competitive with each of their remaining opponents.

They are a good team but living a bit of a charmed existence. Aniticpate they will to lose to OU next weekend.

They have been playing well but I think you hit the nail on the head there. I was least impressed with UK’s roster out of them, MSU, Florida, and Alabama obviously. I think after a few top tier programs in the SEC, most teams will live and die based on the production of their difference makers and execution. MSU has gotten the most out of their top guys, Carolina hasn’t until yesterday. I didn’t really see much from Florida that really jumped off the screen.

Kentucky not being ranked stinks, especially since LSU is still ranked.

Texas dropping below OSU, even though they have the same record and beat OSU is also crappy.

But the good news these sorts of debates mean nothing as long as we keep expanding the playoffs.
