Not sure what RPI rankings you're looking at Tim, but both Mississippi and Alabama are ranked in the top 100. It would seem to me that Louisville also lost to a coupe of mediocre teams in Drexel and Providence. And yes both of those are ranked in the top 100 also, but Providence is at 100. Also Kentucky is ranked 12th in the RPI and Louisville is in the mid 20s.

Boys and Girls, I am a UK fan but I also call a spade a spade and call them like I see them. I know this is an opinion and we all know what "opinion's" are but if UK is the 12th best team in the country per the RPI then RIP the RPI. The SEC right now is rated as the 6th best CONFERENCE in the country, just behind the Mountain West and just ahead of the Pac 10, and Kentucky is barely the 4th or 5th best team in the conference right now. Either that means the conference rankings are completely messed up or UK's ranking is completely messed up. You can't tell me that there are not at least 5-6 teams out of the Big East alone that would not drill the Big Blue on a neutral site plus the likes of PUKE (I mean Duke), Texas, Ohio State, Kansas ....
