Kentucky There is more hype this year than there has ever been for Kentucky football since Bear Bryant in the early 50s. First preseason ranking in over 40 years. A quarterback with first round potential. Questions abound with unproven receivers, a revamped O line, and depth in the secondary, but reports out of fall camp are all positive so far. Stoops is 2 wins from passing Bryant as the winningest coach in program history, and the only coach with 2 10-win seasons (out of 4 ever). Stoops seems to be at his best when he has a chip on his shoulder, and Calipari's recent comments has him out to prove this is more than just a basketball school. and honestly, rifle, volleyball, and track have all had more recent success than basketball Miami (OH) - W - nothing special to see, play calling stays pretty vanilla ahead of big week 2 @Florida - W - I really think they pull this one off, having Florida early in the season helps Youngstown St - W - Stoops' home town school N Illinois - W - don't look ahead, don't want a repeat of Chattanooga last year @Ole Miss - L - I think they split against the Mississippi schools, and this one is on the road Sout Carolina - W - at home, and I've watched enough Oklahoma games the past two years to not buy the Spencer Rattler hype Mississippi St - W - at home, avenging last year's loss, but the vertical game is concerning @Tennessee - L - it's a curse, Tennessee could field a team of middle schoolers and I would still pick them to win @Missouri - W - with all due respect to Troy Queef above, Kentucky is the SEC team that would least affected by cold weather Vanderbilt - W - a late season breather, but again don't get caught looking ahead Georgia - L - the SEC made this the last game for a reason, come in with one loss and this could be for the East, still could be if Georgia slips at all, but despite Chris Doering's optimism I don't see a win here Louisville - W - last 3 games UK has won by a combined score of 153-44, trend continues Prediction: 9-3, and maybe sneaking into a NY6 bowl finally Best case: 11-1 is a pipe dream, so I'll say a 10 win regular season is the ceiling Worst case: 7-5, UF, Ole Miss, SC, MSU, UT, and Missouri could all be toss-ups, but I don't think they lose all 6, 2-4 against the group would be disappointing though, even 8-4 overall would feel like a disappointment which is crazy considering there have only been 5 8-win seasons in my life (and 3 of those included bowl wins)
