Surprised we’re still in the Top 10.

 

[L.O.D.]

Generous the way we have looked lately. Only 1 loss but even in wins we haven't looked good since 2nd half at Zaga

 

[megablue]

I like us better when we're lower in the rankings. We seem to play better with something to prove. None of it really matters that much until the end of the year, but I realize there are seeding ramifications. GO CATS !!

Surprised we’re still in the Top 10.

I think that is too good after the way we played the entire game against a decent BIG team. Couldn't hit three's, couldn't defend in the paint, couldn't make lay-ups, starting PG fouled out with a couple of baskets and few attempts... bench was afraid to shoot...

I guess the AP didn’t poll this board.

 

[Catfanlou]

I actually think that is more than fair .

 

[Seth_C]

That’s generous. I’m sure they also realize that within a couple weeks we will either prove we belong there or prove we do not. I won’t be surprised to see as slip another spot or two in the next poll, given we don’t play at all this week.

 

[MegaBlue05]

Plunge warranted. We have an opportunity to move up if we can take care of business against Brown and knock off the Gators in the SEC opener.

Thank goodness no Kentucky fans voted in the poll…

 

[know1]

Well maybe we're not NIT bound after all. I guess I can stop looking for NIT tickets.

That's about right after that loss.

 

[JFCats22]

To be #10 and have 4 SEC teams ahead of them is pretty crazy.

 

[knot4reel]

Rankings are useless at this point in the season

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Our players play worse when they get fresh haircuts and listen to their own sound bites in clips from The Journey.

I'm sure it takes some gettin' used to, being a Kentucky player and all.

 

[true blue1]

That was a very generous ranking I was thinking we would drop too around 15.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Maybe we can hang on to top 10 for another couple of weeks.

10 SEC schools in the top 25 now!!


Two more, UGA and Missouri, are in the receiving votes category,

10-2 Texas was in the receiving votes category, but dropped out, despite not losing. The other three not getting votes are 10-2 LSU, 9-3 USC (beat Clemson), and 11-1 Vandy.

It's kind of amazing that the SEC's bottom feeders are 10-2, 10-2, 11-1, and 9-3. 15th place in the SEC is currently a tie of 10-2 teams, including the Cats.

So depending on how you look at things you can be happy we're ranked #10 in the country or panic that we're currently tied for next to last in the SEC.
