Kentucky comes into the weekend at 8-1, no. 1 RPI. Georgia comes into the weekend at 1-8, no. 56 RPI. Georgia wins 2 of 3 and moves up from 56 to 37 RPI. Kentucky remains at no. 1 RPI? WTF

They have the most Top 50 rpi wins in the country with 15 (going 15-4). LSU in comparison has only 8 Top 50 wins (8-4). UK's 4th-ranked strength of schedule along with Top 50 wins helped propel them to #1 in the rpi rankings.

We'll see if that last as they play the tougher SEC teams coming up. There is a difference in playing Top 50 rpi teams like MSU, Mizzou, UGA, and Bama vs. Arkansas, A&M, Tennessee, and USCe like what LSU has had to play so far in conference play. They play a tough back-half of conference play with us, A&M, Tenn, USCe, Vandy, and Florida. With all the injuries we have now, I'm glad we got the tough stretch of conference play out of the way while others have to go through the gauntlet at the end.
