As expected, Kentucky remained out of the AP Top 25 for the second week in a row; however, it's worth noting that following the 26-point loss to Alabama, the Cats failed to get a single vote.
Last week, Kentucky hung on in the Coaches Poll, tied for 25th, but fell out today. The Cats did receive 11 votes, putting them just ahead of North Carolina at No. 36.
