2. Kentucky is going bowling

Before we look at the team who lost, let’s all take a second to appreciate that it’s October and the Kentucky Wildcats are already bowl eligible. That is just as big as them beating Tennessee.

The Wildcats are currently sitting at 6-2 for the season and nicely seated at third in the SEC. For those who love Kentucky, you can’t help but to start imagining what could come your way and that’s completely acceptable.

As the 2017 season keeps rolling along, Kentucky could use this win to do something huge for the program. This team is a good team, who, if they cleaned up a couple things, could have a really fun year and an, even more, fun post season.
