At the HOF induction.

Cal loves his teams being highly ranked. Coach Rupp talked about it weekly on his show.

And so should all UK fans

He was bragging about pre-season rankings? I doubt it. Never got the impression he was into ESPN fan candy.

I always thought that's what you went for in the regular season, sort of like an old fashioned pennant race in baseball (before 1994)...and the higher ranked you are the better your chance of winning the championship right?

There are two ways of looking at rankings. Being highly ranked throughout the season is indicative of how well your team has done - throughout the season. And yes, that IS important in the team concept.
However, those rankings don't mean anything when the tourney starts as it's anyone's game at that point. Well, theoretically anyway, LOL. And they really don't mean as much pre-season because any team has the opportunity to rise based on their schedule and record. So in that case, they don't mean that much.
