Kentucky Drops in AP and Coaches Poll Despite Wins

By on December 10, 2012

Despite wins over Samford and Portland last week, the voters in the AP and Coaches Polls didn’t think Kentucky was impressive enough to garner more votes than the previous week’s rankings.

Kentucky dropped to 22 from 19 in the coaches poll and plummeted from 26 to 28 in the AP.

Here are both college basketball rankings:
