Where UK stands in new college hoops rankings and bracketology

The Kentucky Wildcats are coming off a productive week on the basketball court, while several ranked teams across the nation went down, leading to some big movement in the latest top 25 polls.

Among the top 15 teams to lose include Duke (Lumberjacks baby!), North Carolina, Oregon, Texas Tech, Gonzaga, Michigan State and Seton Hall, while Kentucky defeated UAB 69-58 on Friday.

That led to the Wildcats moving up to the No. 8 spot in the latest AP Poll with Gonzaga and Duke right behind them. Louisville is the new No. 1 team, followed by Kansas, Maryland, Michigan and Virginia.
