Kentucky Football Bowl Projections

Through four games, the Kentucky Wildcats are off to a 4-0 (1-0 SEC) start and ranked No. 7 in the country.

However, the Wildcats are about to enter the toughest part of the schedule with seven straight conference games, including three top 15 matchups, with two of them on the road.

As Kentucky enters the make-or-break stretch of the season, bowl projections have been updated with most slotting the Wildcats to go to either the ReliaQuest Bowl (formerly the Outback Bowl) or the Citrus Bowl. However, there are two outlets that still project a trip to the Sugar Bowl.

Let’s take a look.
