Where Kentucky stands in the latest AP and Coaches Polls

Many fans were hoping the Kentucky Wildcats would move up in the rankings even with a bye week due to the major upsets that happened over the weekend in college football and with the Cats’ big upset win last weekend at No. 6 Ole Miss.

Kentucky continues to move up in the rankings in the Coaches Poll. The Week 7 Coaches Poll Top 25 has come out, and Kentucky received 12 votes in the latest poll, which would rank them No. 31 overall and help to move them up two spots from the previous weekend.

As for the latest AP Top 25 poll, Kentucky moved down in the rankings, coming in at No. 39 overall and only receiving one vote.

Last week, Kentucky was ranked No. 35 and received six votes to be in the top-25. Sadly, all the losses this past weekend did not help out the Cats.

It is worth pointing out that Brett McMurphy of Action Network HQ released his top 25 earlier and had Kentucky as his No. 25 overall team.

The SEC continues to dominate in the Coaches Poll with six teams ranked in the top 10, and in total, nine SEC teams made it into the top 25 for the Coaches Poll. Also, Louisville is no longer ranked after being upset by SMU while playing at home.
