    Check back later for the AP Top 25 Poll among other new rankings.


    A win is a win, and the Kentucky Wildcats are 4-0.

    Following their narrow 31-23 win over Northern Illinois, the Wildcats will at least remain in the top 25 of the latest college football rankings. They’re probably lucky to remain in the top 10, but then again, that was one of the crazier weeks of college football in recent memory.
