Kentucky is 7-1. Florida is 6-2. Kentucky beat Florida by two scores in Gainesville.

Why is Florida ranked ahead of Kentucky?

Yeah, that one doesn't make any sense.

You ever watch a team and think they aren't as good as their record? That they aren't even as good as some of the teams they beat? I feel that way about Kentucky, Notre Dame, and last week about Texas. 1 down, 2 to go.

P.S. If these were power rankings instead of rankings I would have Notre Dame at like #7. I probably do have Kentucky too low just like I did Notre Dame last week.

I do, but those teams are usually B1G West teams.

@iowajerms Kentucky not even ranked?

Got it switched in time. I had a feeling I forgot an obvious one. Thanks.

So that 1 point, last second win against 4-4 Mizzou jumps them from 12 to 7? A week after barely surviving a bad Vandy team? Sheesh.

They're 5th in SoR. I don't think ranking them 7th is crazy or anything.

I guess this year, who knows. Watching them over the past 3 games hasn't been impressive at all. That offense has major issues.

That defense is legit though.

We'll see this week.

I'd agree with that, but they might have the best win all season by beating UF in Gainesville. And as bad as that offense is, I'd agree, the defense is elite.

A 2-loss #13 team? That's the best win of the entire season? I don't know how Purdue's win over OSU isn't the best win all season.

Yes you do. It is only the best win all season if one is a bucknut homer.
