Kentucky back in the AP Top 25 after wins over Florida, Auburn
After a road win at Florida and an absolute domination of Auburn in Rupp Arena, Kentucky is back in the AP Top 25. The Cats are No. 23 in the latest AP Poll, just ahead of fellow SEC team Texas A&M.
Kentucky received 12 votes in last week’s poll. It’s the first time this calendar year the Cats have been ranked. They were No. 19 in the Week 8 poll on Dec. 26, but dropped out following the loss to Missouri.
