And Kentuckys 3 losses are against Michigan State in Indy in double OT, at Gonzaga by 16 and to UCLA by ten on a neutral court. Out losses are by 15 at a mediocre Rutgers where they treated us as Mizzou is treating UK right now. To Arizona who pretty much handled us with ease on a neutral court. And then made to look like a SWAC team at Kansas. 

You are slurping Kentucky at the expense of IU? I think you are trying to justify your personal weekly rankings way more than justifying reality.

I’m done with this nonsense; you go be you on this one.

Sean East is punking Kentucky 

Currently Kentucky’s only offense is missing a shot and hoping Tshiebwe gets a second chance bucket. 

Feel mildly vindicated! Always felt he could play at a high major.

That is the reality. Whether you like it or not. Has nothing to do with my rankings. This bMe continues as it is and guess where Kentucky will be? Joining Indiana.

Cason Wallace is a hell of a defender... The rest of Kentucky though... 

You can still guarantee a 40-0 Tshirt next year though with all the Top 10 freshmen.

Rutgers is better than a mediocre team.   Just my opinion.    Early losses came without a couple starters.   Should be 2-0 in the B1G.   Heartbreaking loss at Ohio st on last second shot.  Had a stinker game against Seton Hall.  Making light of losing on the road against them is a mistake in my opinion.     
Anyone can have an opinion on who should or shouldn’t be ranked ahead of who but for me 

Going by committee criteria IU’s 3 losses so far @5, @29, neutral-7 

Kentuckys- @12(not a campus game at the Kennel though), neutral 6 and neutral 68

IU’s best wins- home-24, @35, home-76

kentuckys- home 36(Yale), neutral-80(Michigan), home-Duquesne(136)

Missouri is kentuckys first road game on a campus

iu has already played 3 

having said all that I have IU as a 5 seed right now and kentucky a low 7 or 8 seed

Auburn/Florida tied with 3:34 to go

I wouldn't call a team who struggles to 40% from the floor most nights good. There is a reason they have to ugly up the game to win.

Found this gem on Rupp Rafters lol

I would.   a defensive minded hard nose team. There is a reason their home record is good.    Winning ugly is still winning doesn’t matter how you do it

Xavier already with 29 pts 10 min into the game

Yea I'd say otherwise. They are mediocre. At best. They really are just lucky the Big Ten can't officiate a game properly. They aren't that good. They weren't even good against us. Good teams play both sides of the ball if you can only do one, you're mediocre. 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,694]

Okay... No commercials... Get in the huddle... Yea I'm all for this.

Kentucky will be joining Indiana? Pray tell where will Kentucky be joining Indiana at?

One team will be ranked the next week. One will not.

One team has quality wins. One does not.

One team believes in their coach and teammates. One does not.

One team will finish above .500 in a top three conference. The other? Maybe.

Will gladly agree to disagree on this one.   you think they stink and I don’t especially at home.

With all do respect but who cares about you rankings. You are not suppose to make it personal and be un bias when doing rankings.  It is obvious you are making it personal and can't look at things in an um bias manner.

I'm literally as unbiased as possible. Kentucky was ranked for a reason. The AP having their rankings as they do makes sense. Rankings are a pretty simple concept. Losing is bad, winning is good. Some losses are not as bad as others, some wins aren't as good as others. Then you have all the moving pieces around that. I'm just one person. AP has like 60 people or something like that I think. I don't take it personal, but I have my reasons as to why teams have moved up and down as they have. Same for any voter in the AP.
