CBS Sports Drops Kentucky after Win and Moves Duke to #1 in Top 25 & 1 Rankings

Gary Parrish of CBS Sports has rearranged his CBS Sports Top 25 and 1 rankings and actually penalized Kentucky for winning and moved Duke up 4 spots to the #1 overall team.

He tries to explain:


My decision to jump Duke to No. 1 caused Gonzaga and Kentucky to drop one spot each, no fault of their own. Which means, right now, Gonzaga would be my fourth No. 1 seed. But if Kentucky or Tennessee wins the SEC Tournament, either will, at least in these rankings, jump Gonzaga. So keep that in mind as Saturday unfolds.

Kentucky is #5 with Tennessee at #6.

The Wildcats are 16-5 in Quadrant 1/Quadrant 2 opportunities after Friday’s win over Alabama. Kentucky will play Tennessee for the third time Saturday in the SEC Tournament semifinals.
