Down just a bit? You sure are being generous. The SEC does not have a single team ranked in the USA Today Top 25 and only has three teams even receiving votes. That being Arkansas, Tennessee and Florida. I can never remember the SEC being this weak.

I can remember not long ago that the SEC could have as many as 3-4 teams ranked in the top 10 and as many as a total of 6 or 7 teams ranked in the top 25. Plus you would have a couple of teams receive a few votes.

UK has a decent record due to the fact that they played probably the weakest preconference schedule in the history of the program. Evidently poll voters have recognized that fact.

They still have bat West Virginia, Kansas State, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt... those are all four teams with legitimate chances of making the NCAA Tourney. UK's losses(with the exception of VMI) have not been to any slouches losing to Miami, @ UNC, and @ UL. UK could very well be 17-1 right now as UNC is the only game they had no chance of winning down the stretch.

The four teams to beat UK are a combined 56-12. The 4 wins I mentioned above are 45-20 this year.
