It Seems Some Pollsters Find Kentucky's Schedule Lacking

However, we cannot do anything about it at this point. Usually a non-conference schedule that includes UCONN, Louisville, Indiana and North Carolina would be more than sufficient. Looking back now, Louisville was our toughest opponent, and I wouldnt have bet on that for love nor money.

I dont think it will effect seedings at this point, other than to prevent us from getting the #1 overall seed. But if Kansas and Syracuse were to stumble in their 1st games in their respective tournaments, who knows……but it is a valid point now…..earlier this year, who knew?

We should be shown that respect and be given at least the 3rd over-all seed.

The schedule will not likely affect seeding.

Your probably correct.
Without the quality wins though it could be argued that some of the teams in the Big East and ACC compete in a better conference and should be considered for the strength of their schedule.

with these points made in the article:

"The greatest thing is, this isn’t a video game," Calipari said Tuesday. "This is real people playing with a real basketball in front of real fans. It ain’t on the computer. It’s not numbers. None of that. We’ve been prepared by how we’ve played all season."

Was that really Cal saying that? Sounds like the wineman to me : )

and:

Any consideration of UK’s schedule, Anthony said, has to take into account the target on the Cats’ back.

"They’re playing with that bull’s-eye, and I think they’ve gotten a really good test," Anthony said. "People always talk about, ‘They struggle against these teams’ as a negative.’ I look at it as the opposite. I like a team that wins when they don’t play well, because in the (NCAA) Tournament, you’re not going to play six great games."

IMO: At this point SOS starts heading out the door [unless you’re talking seeding, but UK is a 1-seed lock so the SOS point is still moot]. It’s fun for discussion during the season but, especially at this point (tournament time) anybody can beat, well, most anybody. It depends on who shows up to play.

 we have had 6 SEC teams ranked. Plus we have had four of our OOC teams ranked. I would say that our schedule was just fine.

When Kansas put Temple and Cornell on the schedule, did they know that they would be legit top 25 teams this year? Or that when they scheduled Michigan that the Wolverines would be one of the worst teams in the Big 10?

Calipari said when he got here that the schedule would need to get tougher. I’m sure it will improve in years to come. Additionally, the SEC will presumably return to form with a stronger conference strength which will improve sos for the Cats.

There’s a bunch of worthless coaches in the ACC. Several in the Big East and BIg 10 too.

Don’t you agree?

I was teasing. You don’t coach major college basketball and not be aware of what’s going on. Of all the coaches we’ve had at Kentucky there wasn’t one, well, maybe one, who wasn’t a quality coach and could do the x’s and o’s with the best of them.
I doubt there is a coach in the Big 12, Big 10, Big East, Big SEC, opps got carried away there, SEC or ACC who a case couldn’t be made is one of the top 25 in the country. Well, maybe one or two, but most of these guys have a resume that would be looked at as favorable at most schools.

In the latest Saragin Ratings, Morehead, the junior beast of the OVC, is ranked higher than Arkansas, Auburn and LSU.
Maybe the guys doing the polls know something.
I mean we all know the SEC is a football conderence but three teams falling below the second best in the OVC? Who would have thought we had some who would be ranked fourth in Western Division right here in our own state!
