That game v the Gators earned UK some respect:

Wow, I'm surprised by that ranking. I thought we'd be like 25 or not ranked.

 

[C8TS]

wow ... Louisville got completely dropped from the top 25

Coach's poll doesn't allow ineligible teams. No SMU. No UL.

Edit to add: UL still got some votes. Apparently not everyone got the memo.

Crazy, 7 teams got first place votes. At the start of the year I hoped wed stay in the top 15, but with the way this year has gone I'm fine with where were at.

 

[Aike]

Providence still in at 17 is ludicrous.

really surprised odis dropped out after beating unCHEAT and blowing out bc. i would've been alright if we were dropped out.

Coach's poll doesn't allow ineligible teams. No SMU. No UL.

So basically we have no good wins on our resume.

Gotcha ... that makes sense.

Pleasant surprise. I kind of figured #25 in Coaches poll and no show in AP ranking

 

[Aike]

Wait! Kansas got 2 first place votes??

If you want to pretend like we didn't really play Louisville or that we didn't play Duke at full strength.

this is what I was thinking ....

East Coast bias. They lost at Depaul last week by 7. Depaul is #143 RPI. Tennessee is #111.

Providence RPI is #32.

Another one is IU; ranked #22 with an RPI of #56.

UK RPI is #19.

I'd like to know how a coach is allowed to turn in a poll with Louisville on it when Louisville isn't eligible to be ranked in the coaches' poll.

Had that 21 point lead on Tennessee held up, the conventional wisdom would be that Kentucky is rolling, with only a strong loss at Kansas interrupting a big surge. Might have been Top 12 -15. Aggravating mental collapse in Knoxville, but still time to land a 3 seed with a strong finish.

That and auburn.
