January 15, 200719 yr The Wildcats finally claw themselves back into the Top 25. Kentucky comes in at #25 in the AP Poll, and #27 in the Coaches Poll. Polls
January 15, 200719 yr I liked hovering around the 26-30 range better. Ah well, I guess it's hard to vote out a team that has won 10 straight.
January 15, 200719 yr Some observations: When are the pollsters going to stop pimping Marquette? Duke only slides 3 spots to #14? Makes me sick. A 12-4 LSU at #16 in the polls? Texas A&M, Air Force, Nevada, Alabama and Clemson are all overranked.
January 15, 200719 yr Just let time prove itself. Kentucky has plenty of chances left to prove the "experts" wrong.

Texas A&M, Air Force, Nevada, Alabama and Clemson are all overranked. LSU is the one that really bugs me. They've got 4 losses: 2 to currently ranked teams and 2 to unranked teams. They have 1 win against a team that appears in this weeks rankings. They're a good team but should be more in the 22-25 range than 16.
January 15, 200719 yr DUKE gets the same love in BB that ND gets in FB. Except that the last 20 years of history shows that they should be mentioned, when basketball success is discussed.
January 15, 200719 yr Except that the last 20 years of history shows that they should be mentioned, when basketball success is discussed. No doubt, Do you think they are top 15?
January 15, 200719 yr Except that the last 20 years of history shows that they should be mentioned, when basketball success is discussed. That isn't the way the polls should work. If that were the case than UL, Rutgers, Boise St et al would never have a chance to win the BCS title. The fact is Duke has only one win over a team that is currently in the rankings and has played only 3 road games all year. They probably belong in the top 25 but somewhere in the 22-25 range.
January 15, 200719 yr No doubt, Do you think they are top 15? No way, no how....though I think they will by season's end...not anywhere close yet, should be #24
January 15, 200719 yr That isn't the way the polls should work. Then explain how they are that high then?
January 15, 200719 yr Then explain how they are that high then? Are you talking about Duke or UL in football?
January 15, 200719 yr I like it better when the Cats remain off the skyline. If they continue to improve and win,the rankings willl take care of themselves.
