A loss to Arkansas would hurt worse but not because of Cal. We lose to a higher ranked team like Tennessee then we may drop some but we lose to a non ranked Arkansas team we will drop more.

Of course beating another high ranked team is a great resume builder come March.

The more I look at it, the more I remember how flawed the NET Rankings are.

Kentucky is 6-5 in Q1. They're 1-3 in road games (where Q1 is 1-75), 2-1 in neutral site games (Q1 is 1-50), and 3-1 in home games (Q1 is 1-30).

I doubt that a road win over Kentucky would push Arkansas into Q1-- it'd take much more to do that. At the same time, that kind of win should really push Arkansas up the NET while a home loss to Kentucky shouldn't be too damaging for Tennessee.

For a team in Kentucky's situation to have a Quadrant 2 home loss (to a team 31-75) hurt you so much that a road win over the NET's current #4 overall (Tennessee) wouldn't offset the damage is a bit asinine. Same goes for a potential road win over Alabama.

Know that the NET Rankings are only suggestive, and I would hope that the committee would factor in that the home loss to Arkansas was a huge rivalry game, especially when the biggest knock anyone could have with Kentucky at this time is their lack of quality road wins (currently only #21 Mississippi State).
