Know who was not amused when the preseason AP Top 25 poll was revealed?

Put Kentucky associate head coach Vince Marrow near the top of the list.

The Wildcats' high-profile assistant coach took to his Twitter account Monday to seemingly protest UK's absence while seven other SEC teams were included.

In addition to that, Bluegrass State rival Louisville -- which the Cats have defeated by a combined score of 101-23 the last two years -- received 12 more votes than UK among other teams just outside of the Top 25.

"This is a joke but time will tell very soon," Marrow wrote.

Indeed, the Cats will have their chance to prove the pollsters wrong. Kentucky's reconfigured 10-game SEC schedule for 2020 includes five teams that made the first AP Top 25 poll: Alabama (3), Georgia (4), Florida (8), Auburn (11), and Tennessee (25).

Kentucky will open its season on Sept. 26 at No. 11 Auburn with an opportunity to make a big statement out of the gates.
