Kentucky still out of the AP Top 25
© John Reed | USATSI
For the second week in a row, Kentucky did not make the AP Top 25. The newest poll just dropped and Kentucky received 33 votes, making them the 27th best team in the country in the eyes of the voters.
The top four of the poll remains the same (Virginia, Michigan State, Villanova, Xavier), but Duke jumped seven spots to No. 5 after wins over Virginia Tech and Clemson. Auburn’s loss at South Carolina dropped them from No. 10 to No. 12 while Tennessee fell a spot to No. 19 after losing at Georgia. Texas A&M fell out of the poll after back-to-back losses at Missouri and Arkansas.
