I still contend that it's not who UK is beating that makes them deserving of being ranked, it is the fact that noone else who already is ranked has a better case.

There is no way to definitively say UK desevres to be ranked over who they have beat, but the arguement instead is why should these teams be ahead of them?

Notre Dame- If WVU is a middle of the pack Big East team then so is Notre Dame with their 3-4 record.

Georgetown- See above, WVU beat Georgetown as did Tennessee

Villanova- 3-3 in conference and no win anywhere close to the quality of K-State or WVU

Syracuse- They ahve quality wins over Memphis, Kansas, and florida. But a loss to Cleveland State (just as bad as VMI if not worse), as well as losses in 3 of their last 4 games. UL beat them at the Cuse by 10.

Minnesota- Yes they did beat UL on a neutral court (in a game UL did not show up for) but losers of 2 of their last 3 including a struggle with lowly Indiana.

Memphis- the enxt candidate for the "Who have they beat?" category. Struggled with the same Tennessee team UK stomped, have lost to every other "good" team they have played.

St. Mary's- Record is impressive, but once again getting back to your arguement who ahve they beat that is better than West Virginia, Tennessee, or even K-State?

Florida- Bad loss to South Carolina and Florida State, no quality wins except NC State and even they are a middle of the pack ACC team.

good point I may say 22 tops but they are improving and Gonzaga was beating by St. Marys who beat Tennesee if you want to do that. I dont like that this tema beat this one and this beat this one so this one should be ranked deal but I mean cats are improving slowly but surely. and The Ville they struggled at beginnig of the year as well as cats but cards have wins against the cats, at pitt, at syracuse, at villanova, notre dame, all of which are ranked.
