I was one of the final three voters not to vote Kentucky No. 1 the past two weeks (I had my reasons), but obviously, the Wildcats top the ballot this week. Hard to imagine that they won't be unanimous.

Elsewhere: I say goodbye to Oklahoma State, Michigan State, Arkansas and Creighton and welcome Utah, Notre Dame, TCU and St. John's.

There were obviously some awful losses this week, led by Michigan's home loss to NJIT and Miami falling at home to Green Bay (which would make sense ... in the NFL). So why, you ask, do I still have Miami and Michigan ranked? Because they both had pretty good wins this week, as well: Miami beat No. 24 Illinois and Michigan beat Syracuse.
