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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
