Keegan's Take: Kentucky first, Kansas fifth in Associated Press Top 25 preseason poll ↗

ESPN
Cats, Spartans top preseason poll ↗

Thus- the Nov 12 Champions Classic will be #1 vs #2 and #4 vs #5.

Enjoy!

...and a partridge in a pear tree.

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" ↗
