Kentucky falls to No. 21 in AP Poll after Notre Dame loss
Kentucky is still ranked after the loss to Notre Dame, but just barely. Kentucky is No. 21 in the new AP Top 25, an 11-spot drop from last week. Five other SEC teams are ranked: Alabama (6), Auburn (13), Tennessee (18), LSU (19), and Arkansas (24). Ohio State, Saturday’s opponent, is No. 15, up from No. 21 last week.
Yet again, there’s a new No. 1 team in the country. Baylor is in the top spot following Purdue’s loss at Rutgers. The Boilermakers fell to No. 3 while Duke occupies the No. 2 spot. UCLA and Gonzaga round out the top five.
