I think as usual some teams are being rewarded based on name and or beating up on light schedules.

#12 UK 6-1 SOS 7.69 (8th of 138)

#11 Tennessee 6-1 SOS 4.13 30th I have no issue giving the edge after the Bama win

#10 Utah 6-0 SOS -3.16 97th being rewarded for weak schedule UK should be above them imo

#9 UCLA 6-0 SOS 5.37 18th They deserve to be here imo.

#8 Texas Tech 6-0 SOS -0.79 74th UK has a case to be above them due to weak schedule imo

#7 Ole Miss 5-1 SOS 6.98 10th It's close but I have no issue giving them the edge

#6 Indiana 5-1 SOS 3.83 31st I think UK you be ranked ahead based on schedule. Best win Nebraska?

#5 Georgia 6-1 SOS 2.79 39th I think UK has a good argument with same w-l record against much better schedule

#4 Notre Dame 6-1 SOS 5.57 17th Lost to only ranked opponent I say edge UK

#3 Ohio St 6-1 SOS 5.10 22nd Same w-l record weaker schedule I think UK has a case to be above them

#2 BYU 6-0 SOS 4.19 28th I'll give the edge for being undefeated but only one quality win imo

#1 Miami 6-0 SOS 0.67 64th I'll give them the edge over us for being undefeated but a weak body of work for a #1. No true quality opponents thus far.

I see a legitimate case for UK to be as high as 7th or 8th based on body of work.

As usual just click links to see schedules and results.

No #12. Just keep winning, not worried about what other teams do

Did you actually bother to look at the schedules and compare the body of work? I'm not at all familiar with this site but I like their rankings.

Good post. The AP top 10 makes zero sense. I wonder if it's the 2 point conversions. Maybe some voters think they were flukes and we could easily be 4-3. Wouldn't surprise me. But chance is part of the game....applies to every team one way or another. Those conversions looked well executed to me. Whether we make the playoffs or not, this team should be ranked top 10 right now. Kentucky EARNED those wins.

The pollsters are putting too much faith in the Big 10. Indiana’s best win is Northwestern. Ohio State lost to Texas. That conference was always only 3-4 teams and Oregon, Wisconsin, and Penn St are not good this year.

If uk had the exact same schedule and results but their jersey said georgia they'd be top 5.

Also IU and notre dame in the top 10 is a joke...theyve both played one good team, and lost

With that being said, beat vandy, then for all that is holy beat UT and get our *** in the playoff

Polls don't mean anything right now. Vegas doesn't mean anything. Keep giving Stein ammo. Make us underdogs in every game. Keep doubting this team. It has worked out well so far.

I think you can easily make a case for 6-8 based on the numbers you provided. How they've won matters too. We're dealing with a super slim margin for error and have squeaked out some close ones. Wins are wins, but I'm sure that plays into it all. What I think plays into more than anything is where we started. Takes longer to climb the mountain when you start at the bottom. Being unranked to start the season is probably the biggest reason we are where we are. Couple that with the second half collapse and ugly end result vs Bama, and it feels just fine where we are. Obviously Bama could make a pretty damned good case for being in front of us as well.

Truthfully, I could give credence to an argument anywhere from 6-12. Take care of business vs Vandy and somehow figure out how to beat the Vols in Knoxville and then you can start the REAL discussion.
