CBS Sports projects a .500 season for Kentucky Football

The national media continues to sleep on the Kentucky Wildcats.

For each SEC squad, CBS Sports projected all 12 games and came to the projection of a 6-6 season for the Wildcats, which would mark their worst season since going 5-7 in 2015.

Here’s how the season would look if CBS Sports’ projections were to turn out accurate:

Week 1: Eastern Michigan Eagles (W 1-0)

Week: 2 Florida Gators (L 1-1, 0-1)

Week 3: Kent State Golden Flashes (2-1, 0-1)

Week 4: South Carolina Gamecocks (L 2-2, 0-2)

Week 5: Auburn Tigers (L 2-3, 0-3)

Week 6: Eastern Illinois Panthers (W 3-3, 0-3)

Week 7: Vanderbilt Commodores (4-3, 1-3)

Week 8: Missouri Tigers (L 4-4, 1-4)

Week 9: Bye

Week 10: Tennessee Volunteers (L 4-5, 1-5)

Week 11: Mississippi State Bulldogs (W 5-5, 2-5)

Week 12: Georgia Bulldogs (L 5-6, 2-6)

Week 13: Louisville Cardinals (W 6-6, 2-6)

It’s hard to imagine Kentucky dropping six games with nearly their entire offensive line returning, Terry Wilson healthy and a loaded defense. Thus, these projections will likely only serve as fuel for the Wildcats heading into 2020.

Here’s how CBS Sports projects the SEC East will shape out:

1. Florida Gators (11-1, 7-1)
2. Georgia Bulldogs (10-2, 6-2)
3. Tennessee Volunteers (9-3, 5-3)
4. Missouri Tigers (7-5, 3-5)
5. South Carolina Gamecocks 6-6, 3-5)
6. Kentucky Wildcats (6-6, 2-6)
7. Vanderbilt Commodores (3-9, 0-8)
