SEC leads with six teams ranked in AP Top 25 as Kentucky joins the poll

September 23, 2018 By Bill Pollock

Five teams entered the Top 25, including No. 17 Kentucky for the first time since 2007 and No. 22 Duke. At the top it was mostly status quo, with Alabama, Georgia, Clemson
and Ohio State staying Nos. 1-4. LSU moved up to No. 5, swapping places with Oklahoma after the Sooners needed overtime to get by Army. Alabama received a season-high 60 first-place votes . Clemson had one.

Kentucky is unbeaten and 2-0 in the Southeastern Conference for the first time since 1977. The last time the Wildcats were ranked was Nov. 11, 2007. Kentucky reached No. 8 under coach Rich Brooks that season and upset No. 1 and eventual national champion LSU, but finished unranked.

Among the losers, No. 23 Mississippi State, pounded by Kentucky. The Bulldogs dropped nine spots.

SEC – 6 teams (Nos. 1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 23).

Big Ten – 5 (Nos. 4, 9, 14, 15, 21).

Big 12 – 4 (Nos. 6, 12, 18, 25).

Pac-12 – 4 (Nos. 7, 11, 19, 24).

ACC – 3 (Nos. 3, 16, 22).

Independent – 2 (Nos. 8, 20).
