2018 Week 5 Kentucky Wildcats Rankings

Main Poll Voters

User Rank Rationale
W_Is_For_Will 1 Undefeated. In NCAA14 I took Kentucky to a few Natty's and that was fun. The game wasn't pretty but they did win and that's all that matters. Ranked wins are good.

relax_on_the_mat 5 Two decent P5 wins, one on the road and one at home. A G5 and FCS at home.
Sproded 5
Knightro2011 6 Okay, I figured this would be an outlier. The Wildcats have the #5 defense so far and that's what put them up so high.

Charlemagne42 8 563.8, -32.8, 527; Kentucky keeps climbing. Good win after good win means the model likes them, and I'm less and less inclined to disagree.
The-Gothic-Castle 8
YellowSkarmory 8 2 wins against 3-1 teams is good, including 1 on the road, and Kentucky gets up to here because of that. MOV isn't that good though, and outside of that they've only beaten a 1-3 team and blew out an FCS team. Keeps them here.

ryseing 10 I legitimately thought MSU was a top 10 caliber team, and Kentucky laid a whooping on them. Cats are legit and deserve to be ranked this high.

Miami_da_U 18 Well I really did not see this ranking coming at all. I don't think UF is good but winning on the road there is still difficult. But now an impressive home win vs Miss St. And now they have South Carolina and A&M next which will be a good test. Those are the games that keep you a top 25 team.

moistats_ 20 As of this writing, I am currently seeing the list of undefeated teams through week 4 garnered by Alabama fan /u/well___duh. Kentucky is definitely the team that stood me out the most. First, Kentucky has the schedule to make a good run and place second in the SEC East. Second, Kentucky has a lot of talent, particularly Snell, Allen, Edwards. Third, they performed well against their previous four opponents and their fans consistently have a good showing. They have what it takes to maintain the top-25 ranking.

stripes361 23 Kentucky was only 35th in FPI this week, easily the lowest of any of the teams that made my rankings. But they are a dominant 14th in S&P+, making them a tricky one to rank for me. In the end, their offense (39th in FPI and 57th in S&P+) has me feeling to skeptical to slot them any higher.
