Once again ESPN shows it's blatant bias for the ACC and Duke especially.

Duke has 6 players in the ESPN list of the 50 best players in college basketball. Kentucky has one and it's not Kevin Knox.

Top 50 college players

This needs to be prominent bulletin board material in the UK locker room.

More pre-season BS. Let the games begin, so the real victors can take the stage.

I refuse to get caught up in preseason player and team rankings - they ALWAYS prove to be incorrect. As was mentioned, let the players and team play determine it on the court and go from there.

There has been a 20 year bias in those rankings favoring Duke, UNC, Kansas, Arizona, etc. Look at how many players UK puts in the NBA and are successful - to me that is what really matters.

I never put any stock in preseason predictions. It's the one at the end that matters. That being said I can't stand to watch anything ESPN, so I only watch if they air a UK team.
