7. Kentucky Wildcats: 11-2

Thanks to a win over Ole Miss, Kentucky will move up one spot in the rankings this week. However, I don’t think that they should be ranked over Louisville because of the head-to-head and the fact that they both have the same record.

With that being said, I don’t think Kentucky will lose another game this season.

Their next tough game isn’t until the end of January where they get to play #3 Kansas at home. Outside of the Jayhawks and Gators, there isn’t one more team that could give the Wildcats much a game the rest of the regular season.
