Where will Kentucky football be ranked after improving to 5-0?
Kentucky took care of business Saturday night with a 24-10 victory against South Carolina at Kroger Field in Lexington.
The Cats (5-0, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) came into the game ranked 17th by both the Associated Press and the nation’s coaches.
So what will the win at home over the Gamecocks mean for UK when the new polls are released on Sunday?
Only two teams ranked higher than UK lost, and both of those defeats were to other top-10 teams. So don’t expect the Cats’ ranking to change much, if at all.
