After the impressive victory against Vandy, the Kentucky Wildcats are making a solid case to get into an above average bowl.
UK now has seven wins out of 10 games. They take on Georgia next week where they have a chance to do something special, and improve the quality level of their bowl game.
This doesn’t necessarily mean win the game, all the Cats need to do is give Georgia a run for their money. By doing that, bowl scouts will be fighting over which bowl gets the Cats.
Despite their dominance yesterday, SB Nation is still projecting Kentucky to go to the Liberty Bowl and play Iowa State.
Here are some other predictions from popular publications/writers:
CBS Sports: Liberty Bowl, Kentucky vs Texas
Sports Illustrated’s Eric Single: Belk Bowl, Kentucky vs Wake Forest
ESPN’s Kyle Bonagura: Music City Bowl, Northwestern vs Kentucky
ESPN’s David Hale: Belk Bowl, Kentucky vs Wake Forest
What these guys may not realize is the fact that the Kentucky Basketball team plays Louisville on the same day as both the Belk Bowl and Music City Bowl. It’s going to be hard to convince Mitch Barnhart to schedule a bowl game on the same day as arguably the biggest basketball game on the schedule. It’s a conflict of interests for both the university and the bowls, so I doubt we’ll see Kentucky in either of those games.
This is going to be a big next two weeks for the Cats. If they can play well against Georgia, and get the W against Louisville, they’ll have the opportunity to play in a pretty solid bowl.
