Kentucky 2 spots above Marquette at this point is puzzling. Long-term program reputation is the only reasonable explanation at this point.

                   Marquette                     Kentucky
Kenpom Rank        12                            13
Record             6-0                           5-0
Preseason AP Rank  18                            23
Wins (Kenpom Rank) H vs Purdue (#15)             N vs Duke (#4)
                   A vs Maryland (#31)           H vs Lipscomb (#131)
                   N vs Georgia (#56)            H vs Wright State (#138)
                   H vs George Mason (#93)       H vs Bucknell (#227)
                   H vs Central Michigan (#227)  H vs Jackson State (#336)
                   H vs Stony Brook (#315)


Marquette has an objectively better resume than Kentucky, and started the season ranked 5 spots ahead, but somehow the voters see Kentucky as the better team?

Three straight years we've reached the top-10, first time we've done that since the Amigos were here in 2007-2009. The turnaround this staff has made in less than 4 years remains remarkable.

Kentucky's win over Duke is the single highest-profile-nationally victory by any team this season. I'm not saying that justifies Kentucky being ranked higher; I'm saying that's why the electorate went there.

And it's OK. Polls are just snapshots and conversation starters. So we're all conversing about this latest snapshot.

I'm actually good with #10. If we were #9 or better, we'd have a target on our back from Stonehill.

We are more than likely going to move to 7 next Monday without even playing a game. These feast week tournament are going to give multiple top 10 teams multiple losses.

We play 2 games this week.  And while it'll give top 10 teams losses, it'll also give teams good wins.

I was going to ask if either Buzz or Crean had accomplished that as I was too lazy to look it up myself.  Nice tidbit!

The funny thing is, neither of them did. Crean had back to back years twice (2002-03 & 2007-08) but Buzz took over in 2009 before he could make it a third time. No individual coach has done it since Al (Hank also did it two years).

Amen. It's been a tremendous change in the quality of coaching and the culture. Just glad the powers that be saw a change was needed and moved in the right direction.

Also it's not just top 10, they've blown through the glass ceiling of ranked 8 that nobody could previously.

Interesting, almost every vote that had us 13 had Purdue ahead of us, all but one of the voters who had us 12th, did not.

We will be higher than UCONN this coming Monday. Hoping for some more game results to help us out. Com' on Duke, NC, and Alabama!

Think we will jump ISU too.

Duke, UNC and Bama winning doesn't do much. Those teams all either jump us or stay ahead of us by winning themselves.

Scott Ritchey putting Mu from #24 to #6 is wild.

And according to Zach Klein beating Purdue and Goergia in the same week moves you from #15 to #14.

CBS has us to top 5 in their power rankings

"Duke is a few miscues away from being 6-0 on the season after fumbling late possessions vs. Kentucky and Kansas."

Sounds like Nantz/Romo repeatedly telling viewers that the Bears were just a few plays away from being Super Bowl champions.

#8. Clearly passing UCONN and Houston.

#7 if Oregon beats Alabama.

PGsHeroes32

This next poll is gonna be crazy

Some unranked teams that won MTEs

Some that went 2-1 with bigger wins

a ton of ranked teams that flat out tanked

Also some of the "wins" will be dependent on how you rate clearly overrated teams
