You could argue the entire top 5 is SEC

[ExitFlagger]

Sigh...you can dodge all you would like. That is your MO.

As for your obsession with all things UK, are you really sure you want to go down this road? Everybody on this board knows it, and it will take me two seconds to reply back if you deny/ask for proof again. If I were you, I would let it go. No need to embarrass yourself further.

Pointing out that a bunch of you are attention-starved whiners isn’t obsession. Ranting angrily about Duke for weeks is obsession.

Let me know how many Kentucky-related posts I’ve made in the last 6 mo. How many KY threads I’ve posted in. How many Kentucky threads I’ve created in my lifetime (I’ll spoil it for you—zero).

And there are a lot of Kentucky posters and threads around here if you hadn’t noticed.

What makes this hilarious is that Kentucky fans are known for being obsessed with everybody. Jealous of every team that has even a little success, especially at your expense. At least the Rafter types like you.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

I'd have to think about which fans I'm obsessed with.

UL- no one comes to mind

 

[kyjeff1]

Lol. No, no one cares that Kentucky has a few decent wins in the first couple weeks of the season. Or where they’re ranked.

You guys beg for attention and then cry when you get some. Never fails.

Beg for attention? Who? Nobody is begging for attention, but if that's the crutch you want to use to justify it, be my guest.

You've been ranked #1 the last 10 years? I don't recall ever seeing that.

For a team that has been boat racing all the competition, it seems ya'll should be on that list.

Little britches is precious! I'm going to tell you why, but you'll have to look up a word. The word is defense, I know you have never heard of it, but that's how.

Nice post. Just another metric that shows how much UK had fallen off in the last half of Cal's tenure.

Look at those Zags...can't believe they haven't gotten that elusive championship yet. Crazy.

Oh looky there @della , there's a potential for 5 banners. 😂

Was it you that didn't realize UT had been #1 or was it someone else?

 

[kyjeff1]

Was it you that didn't realize UT had been #1 or was it someone else?

Yeah, it was me. I was too busy to look it up and it's not exactly easy to recall everyone that took turns ranked #1 every week.
Heck, it seems like we've had a new #1 every week this year so far.

You pulling against Arky tonight?

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

It was just a question. I don't take your meaning.

 

[Afamu]

I love the hate. KU fans, Duke fans, UT fans, Louisville fans… they all hate that UK is winning.

Ahhhh, this is awesome. Come on you guys, keep the hate coming.

BTW, where are the NC fans at? I want some of their hate too.

Funny thing is, even when we suck, y'all still show the hate. That, of course, is not as fun.

No they don’t.

"pulling against Arky...."

I like Cal and always have. I'm pulling for Arky. Just wondered about Jeff.

 

[kyjeff1]

Not really, I'm kind of enjoying seeing the SEC kick everyone’s ass and, since UK plays Arkansas, the stronger their resume is, the better our win over them looks.

 

[kyjeff1]

No they don’t.

Threw a rock into a pack of dogs, you're the one that yelped.

 

[954gator]

That works for me, just give your prediction for the SEC race first.

I predict the winner will be one with a favorable away schedule. My eye test still loves Auburn though.

Florida could be a top 4 team or they could be 10th. I'm excited about how Florida has played, but I know the league play will be crazy tough. I think we can compete with everyone in the league, but I also think Mizzu, A&M, OU, UGA, Miss, Miss St, Arky, Vandy etc can as well lmao. Going to be an exciting shit show.

Not that hard to climb the polls when you're by far the best team in your conference.

 

[954gator]

Based on what? Beating terrible teams?

You're an absolute idiot. There's 0% chance UT would be 2-0 against Duke and Gonzaga in the arenas we played them in. Idiot.

0% chance is pretty low lmao. Truth is arguing about these rankings is pretty pointless. UK has the better wins both were razor close. UT has dominated their opponents for the most part with a defense that is TOP notch. Who is better? My money's on South Carolina.

 

[954gator]

Yeah play a tough OOC then coast for 20 games SMH.

[rockycard]

1. Tennessee
2. UK
3. Florida
4. Auburn
5. Alabama
6. ISU
7. Marquette
8. Duke
9. Gonzaga
10. Kansas

Probably so right now, but it’s the first week of December. The younger teams will rise quickly in February and March. Duke might be the team to beat in March, followed by Auburn and Tennessee.

Your hatred of kentucky is so embarrassing

Maybe your blue goggles are embarrassing? What did I say about Kentucky in that post? You think Kentucky will be a top 3 team then we will revisit this in February.

 

[mcnicKY91]

No doubt.

But I think the fact that Gonzaga has been to a couple championship games the past 7 years shows they are a legit program who has been worthy of those number 1 rankings.

I could be wrong, but from 2017 and on, only Gonzaga, UNC, and UConn have appeared in more than one championship game.

They’ve been legit, but they wouldn’t have spent nearly as many weeks at #1 if they played in a top league.
