IF Iowa ST loses, and IF UK beats U
Louisville, and IF Duke wasn't falsely moved ahead of us.. (I know a lot of ifs here lol)

You might see the top3 ranked teams be from the SEC on Tuesday. Tennessee, Auburn, Kentucky. When was the last time a conference had the top3 teams in mid December?

That's a really good question and I'm not really sure if any league has ever even held the top three spots.

Duke doesn’t play again until Tuesday and they played a church league team earlier this week.

IF we beat UL by more than they did, then there is a logical chance that we jump them back. Not only would we have the head to head, 1 less loss, and a common opponent W with a greater margin of victory

Our best wins would be Gonzaga, Duke, Louisville. Theirs would be Auburn, Arizona, Louisville

They have a win over #2. We have wins over #4 and #8. Their losses are to current #10 and #5(neutral) and ours #16(road).

The only logical way to justify it is SOS which is purely based on their cupcakes being viewed stronger than our cupcakes which shouldn’t carry weight 11 games into the season…..BUT that’s assuming logic and common sense applies and we know it won’t with Duke

I feelnlike the committee isn't going to put any effort into moving UK up unless it has to, specifically, if a team ahead of us loses.. but maybe. I mean we should be ahead of Duke anyways.. so maybe the push back would cause them to move us.

I think an argument can be made that they are the best team not in the SEC. I would rather meet them in the final four.
