For the first time in school history, Kentucky Football will enter the season ranked in both the AP and Coaches Polls. After an impressive exhibition tour in the Bahamas, the Kentucky Basketball team will surely be a preseason top-five, if not top-three squad. Instead of arguing over which sport is more important, football or basketball, it’s time to celebrate Kentucky’s success in both because if you look around college athletics right now, it’s kind of rare.
Kentucky is No. 21 in the Preseason AP Poll, which began in 1950. This is only the fifth time in program history the Cats have made the Preseason AP Top 25 and the first since 1978.
