The only poll that truly matters dropped Kentucky further than others following Saturday’s 31-17 loss to Mississippi State. After ESPN and the USA Today Coaches Poll both moved the Wildcats down to No. 17, the updated AP Poll dropped Kentucky down six spots to No. 18.

ESPN’s Power Rankings moved UK down from No. 14 to 17 while the Coaches Poll bumped Kentucky from No. 12 to 17.

Kentucky will look to bounce back next week when the 4-4 Tennessee Volunteers come to Lexington on Saturday. The spread for that matchup will be announced later on Sunday.
