UK drops in rankings but Alabama stays the same

**ComfortEagle** · 10-05-2008, 02:42 PM

This is surprising, considering UK almost upset the #2 team in the country, I was expecting UK to at least peak into the Top 25 this week.

AP Top 25

1. Oklahoma (51) 5-0 1,608
2. Alabama (13) 6-0 1,537
3. Missouri (1) 5-0 1,487
4. LSU 4-0 1,444
5. Texas 5-0 1,374
6. Penn State 6-0 1,287

That's bull! Alabama almost gets beat at home, by unranked team and remains the same, while Missouri, Texas, Penn State, and Texas Tech all won by wide margins and look very impressive in doing so! Alabama is good, but they will not make it through the SEC unbeaten, and UK showed that anyone is capable of beating them. Kentucky proved they are the real deal. Everyone knows it! ESPN knows it! CBS knows it! Alabama knows it! And soon, the rest of the SEC will know that UK is here and it's not going anywhere! I hope this puts a fire into this team and they go out and embarass Spurrier in Commonwealth!

Auburn even being mentioned in the top 25 is the biggest joke. If anyone can watch that offense and say that is good football team than they could sell icecubes to eskimos.

Tony Franklin and his offense are quickly becoming the biggest joke in college football.

Thats OK though. I'm sure there are still people who will buy "The System".

USC is to high on that list. They should be out of the top 10.

cj2561 · 10-05-2008, 11:20 PM

Vanderbilt should be in the top 10,

schs_06 · 10-06-2008, 12:55 PM

that poll is a bunch or crap

**Amun-Ra** · 10-06-2008, 02:13 PM

Bama possiably should have dropped to #3. UK still didn't win so why would anyone think they should have gained a spot?
We win the next 2 games and we will be in the top 25.

If Vandy should then so should UK. Kentucky will beat Vandy.

In no shape form or fashion should Vandy be in the top 10. They are where they should be. As for UK we do not need to be ranked. We haven't beat anyone. Vandy has. And if we don't play better than we did against Bama, Vandy will beat us. That is a fact. Listen I love UK, but us fans need to get our heads out of our butts. Vandy is a good team. It aint like they have never beat us before.
Right no UK better focus on S.Car because we haven't beat them since Spurrier showed up and we def need this wini if we want to be contenders.

Kentucky might have not cracked the top 25 which was expected. Your not going to get in with a loss, not even if you lose to the #2 team in the country by 3 points on the road. But they sure earned a lot of respect and proved they can play with the cream of the crop. They just have to take it one game at a time. Brooks will have the troops ready to roll come saturday!

I was expecting UK to around #21 or #22 but instead ball state, AUBURN w/ 2 losses #20, and soCal didn't even drop out of the top ten after losing to unranked, below .500 team. UK is at least in top 25.

An unranked team that hasn't beat anyone and then loses will not be in the top 25 the next week. That is a fact.

They did get props and respect form the way they played against Bama, but that doesn't justify a move up in the polls after a loss.
