January 11, 201511 yr With two top 5 teams losing this week, along with UK struggling, how far do you think one of the last three unbeatens drop in the polls? I think they will only drop to 3rd, behind Virginia at #2. Wisconsin will stay at #4 due to their loss at home to Duke. An overrated Gonzaga team will likely finish out the top 5. What do you think?
January 11, 201511 yr I say 4th or 5th at worst. With that said, it is Duke and they are the media darlings so dropping to 3rd would be par for the course.
January 11, 201511 yr Swap with UVA and go to 3? I would have a tough time putting them behind Wisconsin.
January 11, 201511 yr The 3 top teams would have to lose 2 straight to drop out of the top 5 at this point. NC State was at #47 in the RPI at game time. Losing on the road in conference to NC state is not a bad loss.
January 11, 201511 yr No lower than 4th but I could see 5th if Matt Jones has a vote. I don't think he does, so they are safe. When Jones slams Duke is a that Dukie on Dukie crime?
January 11, 201511 yr I really thought they had a legit shot at at least getting a lot of #1 votes and possibly being 1 this week before today's game, so I would think they will only drop to 3. I hate to say that as PP92 knows I am nt a fan of his team lol, but I can't see them being 4, no way #4 team should leap frog them.
January 11, 201511 yr Now the real question is this. When UK finally loses a game, how much you want to bet they drop more spots than Duke does after their 1st loss? I say with the national media and how the coaches have voted in years past that it is almost a garuntee that UK will drop more spots.
January 11, 201511 yr I don't think he does, so they are safe. When Jones slams Duke is a that Dukie on Dukie crime? No. He's not a real Dukie. He just attended law school there. :lol2:

Depends on who they lose to, where they lose to them at and how they lose to them. Unless UK loses at home by 20 to whoever is last in the SEC I don't think they'll drop much.
January 11, 201511 yr I'd be fine with Duke dropping to #5. Any lower than that and I'm raising an eyebrow.
