KU Sports

Poll rankings might matter a little in a month or two. Right now, not so much. Still it's good for the old ego!

For comparison, last years AP preseason top 10:

  1. Indiana
  2. Louisville
  3. Kentucky
  4. Ohio State
  5. Michigan
  6. NC State
  7. Kansas
  8. Duke
  9. Syracuse
  10. Florida

I don't see Robert Morris on this year or last year's list. The Kentucky hype-train rolls on.

@JayDocMD thanks for posting that...

Here's an encouraging thought -- Last year's NC was preseason #5 vs #2.

If that played out this year, it would be KU vs Michigan State.

According to some, "SEC Preview: Kentucky is too deep and talented to flop" ↗
