Who can honestly say that a Tigers team that lost to Kentucky deserves to be in the top 3?

Most people that follow college football. To date this season they have accomplished more than any other team. They are 4-1 against ranked opponents, while the supposed #1 team hasn't played a ranked opponent yet. BC finally played a ranked opponent last night and barely won. That was against a team that LSU had dismantled with a score of something like 48-7.
Last I knew Kentucky had a fairly good team this year.

I'll say they are as good as anyone in the top 5 and probably better than most of them. Take a look at the 6 ranked teams they will have played by the time the season is over. If they go to the SEC Championship game, Then, they will have played 7 ranked teams by season's end. Who else plays that schedule?? Yes.. they are a top 3 team. The inconsistancy of the offensive play calling along with injuries and freshmen have been their shortfall. But, give Kentucky credit where due.. They are very good.

Kentucky's a different team this year than they were in the most recent years. They're much better this year and easily a top 25 team. Once people get that through their heads I think it'll be easier to comprehend. LSU also lost on the road, in TRIPLE overtime, and without their best reciever (Early Doucet). So yes, I can honestly say they deserve to be in the top 3 and, if they win out, playing for the National Championship game.

seeing as how im a UT fan, i would love to see us on top, but since im a college football fan i have to say yes they deserve to be top 3....4-1 in triple overtime and lost to a good kentucky team....they beat florida which was huge.....so yes they need to be in the top 3, and i think ohio state is over rated not LSU

They beat Virgina Tech 45-7
They've also beaten South Carolina, Auburn, and Florida.
That's 4-1 against Top 20 competition.
Should they be ranked in the top 3? You can make a case that they shouldn't. But are they overrated? Nope.

They have a tough schedule, they are in one of the toughest conference in the ncaa (maybe 2nd to pac 10), also they beat an emotional HYPED UP Virginia Tech team. I think that there should be teams rated above them. I will say this,
I wish the ncaa scheduled USC for them, that way if they beat USC they can without a doubt be considered number 1.

They're pretty good, but injuries need to be assessed. Kentucky has finally gained recognition as being a football school as well as a hoops school.

Tell me who you have ranked ahead of them and I will offer an answer. I'm not trying to be a smart @ss but who do you believe deserves the # 3 spot?

NO, they would have beat Kentucky if they did not have so many drooped passes and so many penaltys.
