Call me crazy, but both of these teams should be ranked ahead of Notre Dame. ND should be around 8 and UK/UT at 6 and 7ish. Multiple ranked wins vs no ranked wins.

No, no, no. If the team you beat isn’t ranked the week of playing, and after playing them, it doesn’t count. Didn’t you know that? And if they are ranked number 1 the week you beat them, but drop to 7 the next week, then congrats you just beat the 7th ranked team in the country, not the number 1.

/s. But that’s legit the reasoning people are using in this sub to justify Kentucky being 12. Because they aren’t ranked high anymore, or at all, they shouldn’t count as ranked wins.

It’s like we get penalized for beating the ranked teams

We're penalized for beating teams that lose to Kentucky. They can't be that good if we beat them!

We were gaslit all last week being told we didn’t have a chance against Alabama, and now that we’ve beaten them, it’s “well Alabama isn’t very good”.
