January 2, 200719 yr Rankings don't matter in basketball like they do in football. That being said i do not think Kentucky should be ranked nor do i think they should be as low as 41. I say they should be in the 26-30 range until they beat a proven opponent.
January 2, 200719 yr Where is UConn's good win? Mighty UConn (Ap #18, USA Today #14) has QUALITY wins over the following (8 with losing records, 1 at .500, and 2 above .500): Coppin State (2-11) Quinnipiac (2-9) Fairfield (3-11) Northeastern (3-9) Pepperdine (4-11) Texas Southern (4-7) Central Arkansas (5-8) Sacred Heart (6-7) St. Mary's (8-8) Albany(7-5) Ole Miss (11-3) And a 10 point loss to unranked West Virginia. UConn trailed the last 35 minutes of the game.

January 3, 200719 yr UK and Duke are in the wrong places...no worries, it all generally works itself out in the end. Agreed.. Watching Duke strugle right now against 6-5 Temple.
January 3, 200719 yr Agreed.. Watching Duke strugle right now against 6-5 Temple. Even rebuilding UC beat those bums...
January 4, 200719 yr Author Here's Mr. Story's take: http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/sports/16379592.htm
January 5, 200719 yr Author Oregon and Marquette have both lost tonight, which should (in theory) inch UK a little closer.
January 5, 200719 yr :cry: UK actually dropped to #34 in the AP Poll this week and they are not in the top 41 in the ESPN/USA Today Poll. They apparently are being punished for losing to numbers 1 and 2 in both polls. Somehow or other, they are currently ranked behind the likes of Northern Iowa, Winthrop, Drexel, Southern Illinois, Xavier, Creighton, Missouri State, Florida State, Wichita State, and UNLV. Madness. Go Cats!
January 5, 200719 yr Oregon and Marquette have both lost tonight, which should (in theory) inch UK a little closer. Looks like Sparty might go down too.. I guess Drexel, Winthrop, and Huntington High will get their shot at the top 25.
