Sorry, but Ohio State is not a potential loss for the Cats. They're pretty bad. UCLA is I guess since its a true road game. I want to say no way UL is either, but that's a huge rivalry game so I'll give you that one as potential.

Yeah, I pretty much just picked any Power 5 school or a team that was top 100 KenPom as a potential loss. Plus I didn't want to jinx Kentucky and leave off Ohio State and Arizona State, which should realistically both be relatively easy wins.

Down to 20 unbeatens after Louisville, Cincinnati, Syracuse and UTEP all lost tonight. I'm going to go ahead and call Washington State's first loss early (down 11 to Gonzaga) leaving us with 19 as of 12-3-15.
