One of the craziest weeks in college basketball has shaken up the polls this week.

An amazing 18 teams in last week’s Associated Press Top 25 dropped a game, meaning the Kentucky men’s basketball team, one of only seven teams not to lose, reaped the benefits.

UK moved up to No. 10 in this week’s AP Top 25 and No. 11 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ Poll.

The Cats are also back to a No. 3 seed in Joe Lundardi’s ESPN Bracketology. Five Southeastern Conference teams remain in Lunardi’s projections with Georgia listed in the “First Four Out” category.
