Every year, Matt Norlander of CBS Sports takes on the daunting task of ranking EVERY team in NCAA basketball. That’s 353 teams. So if you look at it that way, maybe Big Blue Nation should be pleased that the Kentucky Wildcats come in at No. 4.
Preseason rankings are, by no means, an exact science. But it is always interesting when a leading journalist has a different take than virtually every other major poll, where Kentucky appears at No. 1 or No. 2.
Norlander has nothing negative to say about the Wildcats, and in fact praises them with a comparison to the 2014-2015 team.
