I don't know man...AP poll has Virginia 3rd and Gonzaga 4th. We won today. I think we jump to #3 when the new polls come out Monday if the Zags lose tonight.UVA is still gonna be ahead of us.
And they probably should be

Won’t happen. TN will still be #1 with only one loss.Virginia will be 4th and Duke will jump to 1st. We will remain 5th. UT will be 2nd.
Ban bet???I predict Zags dont make it out of first weekend.
So lets just forget about the first 25 games?To be honest , the polls don’t mean anything yet . There’s a lot of basketball to be played .
The more I think about it I’m not so sure. Kentucky is taking no prisoners and hasn’t lost in 5 weeks.UK's 5 best wins:
1. UNC neutral
2. Kansas home
3. UL road
4. Miss St. road
5. Auburn road
UVa's 5 best wins:
1. Maryland road
2. Wisconsin neutral
3. Va. Tech home
4. Fla. St. home
5. N.C. State road
UK has MUCH better wins, but the fact that UVa has one less loss coupled with the ACC bias will keep them ahead of us. But they have 3 of their next 4 on the road, at UNC, at Va. Tech and at UL. Based on what I've seen from Virginia, they will lose 2 of 3, and may lose all 3 of those games. We keep winning and it will take care of itself.

Virginia's adjusted Offensive rank is 5, their adjusted defensive efficiency rank is 3. That is why they are rated higher than UK (18 offense and 8 defense).UK's 5 best wins:

In fact, after tonight's loss, UVA moved up to #1 on KenPom.
UK slipped down to #7.
Sometimes this makes no sense.
St. Mary's isn't even good this year.Just need Gonzaga to lose to St. Mary's tonight. Virginia already lost. Hope the Gaels are on their game and can somehow snag the upset.

That's possible, I thought they were 6th.Kentucky was 8th this morning I believe.

Zero chance we pass UVA.I bet we pass Virginia. I bet Michigan passes Virginia. Seeing two teams worthy of passing them will make it easier. Split some votes.
There are two ways to raise in the rankings. Beat good teams. Don't lose. Virginia was getting by on option 2. And now they have two loses, they drop into a sea of other teams that have two or three loses, but with better wins. Plus, they were off midweek, so all they did was lose. We beat a good Mississippi State team on the road, and thumped South Carolina by 28.
Man this crying and bitching about every one else is bad and every conference but the sec sucks is getting old. UK will be above UVA on Monday. There is no bias against UK or for the ACC. When the numbers are crunched teams are ranked appropriately. I say the same thing to people who bitch about UK being ranked higher than they should during a season because of who they are. The only rightful gripe people can have is when UK and Duke are ranked high in the preseason becaus eof freshmen who haven’t played one college game or proven anything yet against legit comp
Actually, they're at #3 now. UK back to #7.UVA dropped from 1 to 2 in Kenpom.
No way they should be ahead of us. We're better than them now and we've been playing better. We would already be ahead if you ranked teams based on where you think they actually are instead of playing but the rule that they must lose first before dropping. Now that they lost there is no reason for them to be ranked ahead of UK.UVA is still gonna be ahead of us.
And they probably should be
