Kentucky falls two spots in the latest AP Top 25 Poll after their home loss to Arkansas

The Kentucky Wildcats have done very well against ranked teams this season, even in SEC play. However, after losing to Arkansas on Saturday, they are now 0-3 against unranked teams in the conference. The loss also dropped them in the rankings. They dropped two spots in the new AP Top 25 Poll on Monday.

The Wildcats are 14th in the newest version of the rankings, down from 12th last week. That puts them at sixth of the SEC teams. Overall, nine SEC teams are ranked, and three more received votes.

The Auburn Tigers remain at number one with a 20-1 overall record. The Alabama Crimson Tide and Tennessee Volunteers are also in the top five at number three and four respectively. Interestingly, of the five SEC teams ahead of them in the poll, Kentucky has beaten three of them. They’ve also beaten the Duke Blue Devils, meaning they’ve beaten four of the top ten teams in the country.

The Cats go on the road to play Ole Miss on Tuesday, and are in need of a bounce back after a tough loss over the weekend. They could use a 2-0 week so they could start moving back up the rankings next week.
