UL down to #19...

UC is in the 30's...

23 sounds good...

I'm just sayin... I'm just sayin.. :lol:

Still behind Louisville.

I've never understood how a team can beat another head to head, play similar schedules, have a similar record and the team that lost be ranked higher. What better gauge to rank teams than head to head play? I don't understand how that works.

The same way that it's hard for a team who is ranked low to climb, it usually takes more than an extremely close game to fall very far.

If UC wins the next two they will have a trip to Jersey with a chance to crack the top 25. Right now they are about where I expected...

And who do you root for in the UC-Marshall game?

All I can say is I'm glad I'll be working and not able to root for anyone. :lol:

I'm sure my emotions will be torn Saturday night...

Take a look at the voters, and you'll understand.

Has to be a record that Kentucky, Hawaii, and Missouri are all ranked at the same time. Would still like to see UK get Mizzou on the schedule.

I guess the question now is, Does UK drop out with a loss at Arkansas?

No question. Yes...

I am going out of town today...I will back for some crow later...though I am proud of how both teams played last night.
