#17 Kentucky lost to an unranked LSU on the road. Not sure it'll drop them out of the Top 25 even though they are now 18-8 overall, because ya know, they're Kentucky.. They SHOULD drop out, but we'll see what happens. Their next game is against #13 Alabama at home on 2/24. If they lose again, they most definitely fall out of the Top 25 by Monday's polls. If they win Saturday, they won't.

#24 Florida lost in overtime on the road to #13 Alabama. I don't know if that warrants them being ranked below us, who barely got past the worst team in the AAC. They'll probably be receiving more votes than us still. 

#22 Colorado State lost on the road to New Mexico. NM was receiving votes in this week's AP poll. 

#16 Dayton lost to unranked George Mason on the road. They won't fall out of the Top 25 but will drop into the 20s.

#12 Illinois lost to unranked Penn State on the road. They won't fall out of the Top 25 but will drop.

This is hard for me....top 25 ranking helps our case slightly for an at large, but should we sneak in, then a top 25 ranking won't help us sneak up on anybody come NCAAT time

I can’t believe SEC ranking inflation has hit men’s basketball. None of those teams are good, except maybe Tennessee. Alabama at 13 is hilarious. They beat no one of consequence in non-conference, got beat by a crap Ohio St. squad, and feasted on mediocre SEC teams.
