Kentucky will probably beat Florida now, beat Tennessee Tech, and upset 1 of 2 vs Vandy or Louisville and make a bowl. Stoops will be back. I thought they'd finish 3-9, Does 4-6 wins change anything?

4-8 final record.  What makes any of us see a victory over Florida, Vandy or Louisville going to happen.

I am not making any predictions but I sure didn't see UK beating Auburn on the road.

1) Ole Miss game that they were in + had chances to win down until the final minutes (granted, Ole Miss was in a QB limbo themselves at the time).

2) Texas game.

3-5 & one yard from being 5-3, split one of those and 4-4.

Florida at home is a must (Captain Obvious there). Win it? The likelihood of upsetting Vandy or Louisville on the road obviously increases with the Mojo.

I look at this game vs Florida for UK much like it was for Florida last year. They needed a shot in the arm and quick, almost desperation mode (which it was, for their Bowl hopes + Billy Napier's job security at the time)..yet they maybe played as "free" as they had all year.  Same scenario for UK this week (not that the Auburn game wasn't).

UK matches up well with Florida in styles of play (also did with South Carolina, per usual, but that went from up 7-0 to GAME OVER in seconds in back to back Murphy's Law possessions). Florida isn't rolling in here playing like Ole Miss/Tennessee (same coaching tree, scheme/philosophy) on offense.

Clean game for both? Final possession type game. Significant turnover margin in favor of one? Game over.

This is Kentucky's 'play in' Bowl Game.
