The Ugly: Kentucky Jumping Over Louisville To Number Six

This was the most confusing move of the entire week 9 AP poll. I just don’t quite understand Louisville falling three spots after a home loss to #11 Virginia and a road win over Indiana, especially when the Cards handled the Wildcats at the end of December.

It’s almost as if Kentucky is getting the North Carolina treatment here.

Not to mention, while everyone else in college basketball played two games after Christmas break last week, Kentucky only played one and that was against Ole Miss.

Even though Louisville and Kentucky currently have the exact same record, apparently a 99-76 win over the Rebels proves that UK is the better team this week.

That is what we call, the furthest thing from the truth.
