This is crazy! If we were to have lost. We would have fell out the Top 5. BUT, NOOOO UNC and DUKE......BARELY moved!

Last Week:
UNC - 5 (AP) - 5 (ESPN)
Duke - 3 (AP) - 4 (ESPN)

This Week:
UNC - 4 (AP) - 6 (ESPN)
Duke - 7 (AP) - 5 (ESPN)

UNC actually moved up in the AP after the loss!!!!

I don't have a problem with UNC moving up. They lost to the #1 team on the road. It's obvious they're a top 3 team.

**OffTheHook** · 12-05-2011, 04:08 PM

^I'm saying if it were the other way around. We woulda fell out!

**Aslan** · 12-05-2011, 04:19 PM

Probably.

**Stardust** · 12-05-2011, 04:46 PM

This is sure giving the Ville game more meaning. If both teams can remain undefeated, the New Years eve game will be the BIGGEST event of the year on the last day of the year!!!

**OffTheHook** · 12-05-2011, 04:52 PM

I was noticing that and couldn't agree more! May have to start the Party a little early this year!

There would be nothing better than the #1 team in the country to beat the #2 team in the country to prove the States superiority!

I was predicting a #1 and #3 matchup but I think memphis may give us a loss

I wouldn't have a problem with it either, IF, we were
operating in a logical venue. But AP voters have NEVER
voted that way before, and absolutely WOULD NOT
treat UK that way. And truthfully wouldn't treat any other
teams outside of UNC and Duke that way.

Even though it agrees with how I actually see things,
it's still a load of b.s. under S.O.P. for the voters.

I can agree with it.

**RunItUpTheGut** · 12-06-2011, 03:10 AM

I really do hope Lville doesnt lose until they come to Rupp.
It will make out 30 point win over them look devastating to the Cards.

This didn't work out for me
