With everyone around us in the polls losing……

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

…..finally a chance for UK to move up if we win Saturday.

That being said, Cal’s teams have a tendency to lose in this situation the last several years. A perfect opportunity and we blow it.

This is Cal’s chance to prove me wrong. Let’s go out and smash the dirty Aggies!!!!!!

 

[BelfryKYCatFanatic]

With #1, #2, #3, #5, #9 & #11 going down in the last 48 hours, here is my new Top 10 barring anything crazy this weekend,

1. UConn
2. Purdue
3. Kentucky
4. Houston
5. Kansas
6. Tennessee
7. UNC
8. Arizona
9. Illinois
10. Duke

Most interesting games this Saturday:

#2 Houston (14-1) at TCU (12-3)
#9 Oklahoma (13-2) at #3 Kansas (13-2)
#5 Tennessee (11-4) at Georgia (12-3)
#6 Kentucky (12-2) at Texas A&M (9-6)

Like you said seen it too many times with Cal,chance to make Poll move and team lays an egg. This team definitely different than the last several years but still need to see them handle business against a team they should beat.

Agree generally with this but no way UK jumps above UH (unless they lose to Oklahoma) and my guess is that UNC will jump ahead of UT.

I agree, definitely a different personality in this team

 

[Jmeeks54thebest]

We just have to keep winning. Usually when this sort of thing happens we stumble over a team we shouldn’t so I hope we continue to buck that trend this season. Keep winning for the seed, keep improving for championship run. Do those things and we’ll be in good shape

Oklahoma plays @ Kansas. Kansas won’t lose at home

No one gave us a chance on us going into Lawrence a few years ago, and destroying them in Phog Allen either...

 

[MidseasonTweak]

If we win on Saturday, #3 sounds about right to me.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Even if we win and DON'T move up much Saturday, it still means those teams ahead of us have no room for error. Kansas, Purdue and Houston can't lose again and not fall behind us.

That coupled with a bit of a reprieve in our SEC schedule coming up, means we can probably get into that top3 range.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

If UK is truly a top 4 team, they'll win Saturday, IMO.

 

[RMorris33]

What it should be if we win Saturday

1. UConn
2. Kentucky
3. North Carolina
4. Purdue
5. Houston

What it will be

1. UConn
2. Purdue
3. Houston
4. Kansas
5. Kentucky

Without a doubt...exactly the same thing I thought. Only Tennessee will fall out of Top 5.

Also, if Michigan St beats Illinois tonight, they will be back in the Top25 with 6 losses. Wait and see...

 

[Sejonesy]

Had a good laugh at this. Parrish isn’t an AP voter, but he moved Purdue back to #1 after their loss. 😂 UK still at #8

College basketball rankings: Kansas upset by UCF, drops from No. 1 in Top 25 And 1 with Purdue back on top

A day after moving to No. 1 in the Top 25 And 1, the Jayhawks lost to the Knights

[know1]

We'll be 5 with a win. Maybe 8 with a loss.

 

[WeWant9]

Agreed. The last few years we have seemed to squandered opportunities to move up when others lose. Lets kick some ass Saturday and keep rolling

 

[Jamal Mercer]

We won’t move much. The top 4 will just rotate. Tennessee will move back, we will move up to #5.

It’s still good that these teams lose games though. UK fans are starving for a 1 seed.

Damn! I could see Houston, KU and UT all losing in those games! I like this. I see us moving to 3 as well.

Kansas is at home Saturday, but still a loseable game for them.

Indeed...back to back tough games...I love it for them!

 

[CB3UK]

UNCW loss pisses me off even more now. We'd be looking at #1.

That being said, Cal’s teams have a tendency to lose in this situation the last several years. A perfect opportunity and we blow it.

This is Cal’s chance to prove me wrong. Let’s go out and smash the dirty Aggies!!!!!!

When has that happened with a Cal team?

With it being a “tendency” there should be many examples.

You really need to come up for air every once in a while.

 

[Emarc]

Just win.

 

[pappy52]

KENTUCKY WILL BE RANKED 5 WITH A WIN SATURDAY AND AN OUTSIDE SHOT OF NUMBER 4

If they beat A&M on Saturday, I think they will pass KU as well. A&M would be a great road win and UCF was a bad loss. I think they would be #3. Could be #2 if Purdue and Houston lose again this weekend.

It's truly incredible how much of a Cal homer you are.

It's happened multiple times. And unfortunately the same phenomenon has occurred in NCAA tournament play. Two more recent examples are when brackets absolutely unfolded in front of us, and all we had to do was beat Auburn, or Kansas State.........errrrrrrr Never mind.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Ky could beat A and M by 37 and dook would move up 5 spots.

 

[FFWhite]

If UK wins Saturday they will drop to a 4 seed in Lunardi bracketology. Drop to 10 in Parrish top 25. Idiot from Mount Pilot Times will drop Cats to 18.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Win Saturday we should be 3. But probably be 4.

 

[nickhorvathsuxazz]

Kansas is at home Saturday, but still a loseable game for them.

Not coming off a loss...it won't be allowed.
