Abstract editorial illustration

The Kentucky basketball team secured a win against James Madison, but they failed to maintain their ranking in USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll after the game. Kentucky started the season ranked 23rd, but they just missed the top 25 this week. The UCLA Bruins and Nebraska Cornhuskers' strong performances pushed Kentucky down in the rankings. Arkansas suffered the biggest drop from their loss, falling seven spots. The Wildcats face Kansas next week, and they need to prove they can compete against top-tier teams.
