Did you know.....?
There are three teams (at the moment anyways) from the state of Kentucky that are ranked in the nation's top 25 teams. They are: University of Kentucky (8-1), University of Louisville (9-0), and Murray State (10-0). What is even more amazing about this is that the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville are ranked in the top four. Kentucky just suffered it's first loss from an old rival (Indiana). Louisville won their last game and Murray State just beat Memphis.
