Whens the last time UK was ranked in the ESPN poll? Preseason last year?

I'm not sure if that was the last time they were ranked or not, but that sounds pretty accurate to me. If that was the case, then they didn't deserve to be ranked at that time. The voters should have known Kentucky would struggle with new coaches and new philosophies coming in. As with many coaching changes, there will be transfers, some of the previous coached players often struggle to adjust to the new coaching philosophies and culture. I knew there would be many bumps last year and even a few this year. But the road is getting smoother for the Cats.

The ranking the cats possess now was earned, it wasn't given.
