Number 11. Kentucky 

Week 1 result: (0-1) 44-35 Loss to Southern Miss

Kentucky sure did look good, for one half of football. The other half they looked like a totally different team (much like another team coming later on this list) that could not play defense or score.

Kentucky lost to a good Southern Miss team, they will challenge for the Conference USA title, but it still looks really bad for Mark Stoops and his football team. This team has enough talent to be able to put together a winning season, but they will need to put it all together, as a team, in order to beat better teams and get to at least six wins.

A plus for Kentucky was that the offense did look efficient before the collapse of the entire team.

Next Game: Saturday, September 10, at Florida 3:30 ET CBS
