UK has fallen out of the AP Top 25 in rankings that were released Monday. It is the first time UK has not been ranked since John Calipari became head coach.

The Wildcats (4-3), which were ranked eight last week, got 186 votes, which would rank them 26th. UK fell from the Top 25 after losses to Notre Dame and Baylor last week.

The loss to Baylor broke a 55-game home winning streak, and was Calipari's first home loss as UK's coach.

Indiana and Duke remained at No. 1 and 2.
