| T-Thugs | 2 | Kentucky jumps high in my poll, perhaps too high, with a road win at Florida, who I had ranked very highly after defeating Utah. It looks like maybe the second best win of the year so far. |

| ikindalikelemons | 4 | Do I believe Kentucky is the 4th-best team in the country? No. But in this group from 4-8 of 2-0 teams whom I believe have beaten a quality opponent, the win in the swamp, effectively limiting AR, was the best to me. |
| RegionalBias | 4 | The big jump of the week. 2 FBS wins. Compared to teams around, they have a better win. |

| nw____ | 9 | Great win over Florida. Don't think they are quite talented enough to stay this high but they are incredibly sound and very, very well coached. |
| olmsted | 9 | |
| Our-Gardian-Angel | 9 | It will never stop being amazing to me what Mark Stoops has turned Kentucky football into. Going into The Swamp, beating Florida and having it not be a surprise is a perfect testament to where the program is and a perfect way for Stoops to pass Bear Bryant as UK's all-time wins leader. (Week 2: Kentucky 26, Florida 16; Record: 2-0) |

| crownebeach | 13 | The biggest riser in my rankings -- I'm sorry that I doubted you. Handled a potentially explosive Florida offense. I still don't get the Will Levis hype, but UK is going to play sound football and they have physical and athletic advantages they've lacked in previous years. |

| MWiatrak2077 | 13 | It's official: Mark Stoops has now claimed the all-time wins spot in Kentucky history, after an impressive win over #12 Florida on the road. Kentucky dominated time of possession 34:26 in a slow and methodical lap to victory. After being regarded as the eternal-underdogs, Kentucky looks to open up its SEC play as a contender for an NY6 bowl, and potentially its division (if Georgia dies in a plane crash). They look to be one of the most fundamentally sound teams in the nation, with great discipline & execution. I currently have Kentucky going 10-2, with losses to Georgia, and likely Ole Miss on the road. This will hopefully serve as a good recruiting bonus for Stoops and the Kentucky program. |
