Considering Belmont has 7 points in the preseason poll, I was assuming we would get around that. A blowout win tonight and even just a close loss that shows we can compete at Kentucky could put us in next week. On the one hand it means nothing but on the other it means a lot in terms of fan interest (especially student), recruiting, etc. It matters.
I wonder if the majority of the people who vote on this will even know or pay attention if we lose to Kentucky, or will they just see a 3-1 mid-major?
Hopefully even with a non-disastrous loss to Kentucky we can be in the top 25 going into or after a possible win over LSU if we take care of business until then. Would be huge for the program in my opinion.
