We could be #4 by next Monday. Huge games: Duke vs. Kansas; Bama vs. Houston; Iowa State vs. Auburn, etc.

#2 UConn already lost tonight.
#4 Auburn is taking on #5 Iowa State tonight. One of them will lose.
#6 Houston is playing #9 Alabama tomorrow night. If Bama wins, we'll move up again.
#11 Duke plays #1 Kansas tomorrow night.

We'll pass UConn, one of Auburn/Iowa State, maybe Houston, and perhaps even Kansas if Duke wins.

UK could be #4 by Monday with Gonzaga #1, Auburn #2, Tennessee #3, and UK #4.

When's the last time the SEC had three top 5 teams?

Aub - IowaSt is a defensive backyard brawl type game of basketball right now. Same thing in that Houston game

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

UK likely wont pass uconn

 

[EliteBlue]

My bet is that they keep Kansas in front of us if Duke wins unless it’s a blowout…at least until we beat Clemson and maybe need the Gonzaga game too to outright jump. But other than that, the rest are prob dead on

 

[EliteBlue]

UK likely wont pass uconn

UConn is the other media darling along with Duke/UNC since ESPN is HQd there. I could definitely see them dropping UConn to 7-8 and moving Memphis to 15-18 as justification

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

UK likely wont pass uconn

Why?

UConn just got punked by an unranked Memphis team.

7-0 UK overtakes them early next week.

Auburn will probably jump Gonzaga for the #1 spot. They won at Houston too. I've got Kansas losing to Duke tomorrow.

 

[yoshukai]

If Duke beats Kansas they will move Duke ahead of us because………Duke.

I don't really care where we are ranked..no one remembers who was in the top 5 in nov/dec

I just care where we are at the end for seeding

Your scenario could happen, but I think the Cats will only move up at most 2 spots.


Not saying it’s right or wrong if the following happens, but I could just see these things happening:

If Bama beats Houston, my guess is Bama jumps UK, so no net gain there.

If Iowa State wins out in Maui, I’m not certain will drop below the Cats with a last second loss to Auburn, especially if Auburn beats UNC tomorrow. Auburn may jump Zags into #1

I think UCONN is going to be given the benefit of the doubt this early in the season, so don’t think they will drop below the Cats.

This is too much good basketball before March. How’m I supposed to get any work done this week?

I’m only mostly joking. All those years semi tuned-out, I’d forgotten the impractical side of my love affair with college basketball.
