UK stays at the top for at least two weeks. Not saying they will lose then, but there next real test is at Vandy.

I believe in our pre-season picks, I had Missouri in my final four... Looking like a good pick..

I still think Duke and Kansas are a little overrated

[RunItUpTheGut]

If this was the future, that's be two SEC teams at the top :biggrin:

[Aslan]

Missouri is not a top 5 team.
Can we end the week curse of being #1? We have two tough road games this week.

[FanofThegame12]

Ky should win the next 4 or 5 and have two tough road games. I'm not saying to overlook anybody though. Missouri is a solid top 5 team also, I would hate to play them come tourney time, even though they will be a conference foe next year. Does anybody know if they'll be apart of the west or east?

Yes, the Cats biggest test will be in a couple of weeks when the head to Vandy

[itzAmazing]

As I scroll down the list of top 25 teams it really sticks out to me that no team can truly match Kentucky. Sure, there are teams than can play with them and beat them on a good night, which is all it takes comes March, but Kentucky is the clear-cut best team in the country at this point. This is not biased or to stir up any controversy, it's simply the truth. The doesn't mean they WILL win the national championship, but it does mean it will take one heroic, team effort to knock them out.
