Some weird happenings this week with the rankings. Despite the loss on Saturday to Vandy the Cats actually moved up in one of the polls this week. In the AP poll Kentucky dropped from 25th to effectively 27th and into the “others receiving votes” category with Tennessee being the penis-in-betweenus. Did anyone just get that joke? I’m sorry for that, I just had a flash back to middle school.
On to the ESPN/Coaches poll where all the funny business usually happens because most of the time it’s the AD or a staff assistant that sends in the rankings instead of the coach. On a side note, I heard or read somewhere that Tubby doesn’t participate in the coaches poll because he doesn’t believe in them. I couldn’t find a link to back this up but I swear I heard that. Anyway, just the opposite of the AP poll, UK went from 27th to 25th.
In the other rankings Kentucky dropped from 5th to 7th in the RPI, 11th to 17th in Sagarin, and held steady at 14th in the Pomery system.
Lastly, UK is all alone in second place in the SEC East after a Florida win and a UK loss.
