I don't konw what to say anymore.

[mobaar]

UConn at 22 blows my mind. They've lost to #18 and #22 and haven't played any other ranked teams.

[YAKOFNORWEGIA]

Didn't we beat Indiana and what is UCONN's resume'?

[Log Mountain Boy]

I dont understand how Washington and UConn are that high. Also I dont see how USC, Indiana, Arkansas, and several mid-major teams are ranked above us.

[Wireman]

Are people just taking their shots at UK while they can or what? We are absolutely getting hosed. For the record, I'm a big UK fan, but I would argue for any team in the same situation.

[colonel-fan]

UK just have to keep winnning. The polls will take care of themselves. If anything, it gives the team motivation to prove these things wrong.

[TheDeuce]

At least one team in the Commonwealth is in the Top 40...:irked:

:thumb: Its not where you start its where you finish. I think we will continue to climb the rankings before plateauing off in February.

I hate the national love affair with mid-majors.

Did you just make up that word?

:lol: I think "topping" would have worked just fine. :jump:

Not only did we beat Indiana, we also have a better record and have played a tougher schedule. Personally I don't care where we're ranked until it starts to effect our seeding for the tournement, which will be late Feb thru early March. However, the rankings this year are just absurd. I would like to talk to a voter that puts UK around 35th-40th and hear their reasoning behind it. It's quite comical.

You don't get ranked 35-40...

[UKPat02]

12-0 at home. Wins over Quinnipiac, Fairfield, Albany, Central Arkansas, Sacred Heart, Texas Southern, St. Mary's, Pepperdine, Ole Miss and Coppin St.

 

0-2 on the road. Lost to WVU and LSU by 10 and 17, respectively.

 

That's what the resume of all ranked team should look like.
