There are 900 college teams in America, according to AI and 14000 high school teams. Are we we next? Are you a real person asking a nonsense question or an AI Russian bot?

Honestly, probably not this year. UCLA will be closer than us this season. But Stein is young and will be at Kentucky much longer than Chesney at UCLA.

On paper it’s Miami and uga who have the highest ceiling
It ain’t Miami.
Not buying Miami stock.
They cheated out Florida State last week.
Florida State scored a TD to tie and the referee throwed a flag for holding.
There was no holding or even close on the replay. Called BS on that one.
Miami may lose to UNC tonight.

Probably not. I think many of our stats are middle of the SEC pack. IMO, it's our insane plus turnover margin and lack of penalties. Add some gutsy coaching decisions that worked out in our favor. Take away those 3 factors and we probably have a much different record.

I’d say if you took away three of the best statistical categories/qualities of any team they’d have a different record.

We have a solid team. We have gotten a few breaks and have set ourselves up to where we have a chance to make the playoffs. Great season, but I think some of you are getting way carried away with what you hope we are rather than what we are. I hope we keep rolling along

We aren't the best but could beat the best which is still very impressive.

So far we've had a completely charmed season. We're incredibly healthy for this late and we faced some teams while they were imploding.

The stars really aligned so far but that doesn't take away from the incredible job Stein is doing leading this program.

We are far from the best team in the cou try, regardless what our record shows...wenjist done beat ourselves, and our defense has been good enough to give us chances to win. We are not dominating at any ascept of the game, outside of. Not turning the ball over, and getting takeaway. We are a good team.. And one that if you make a mistake.... We can beat you. We need depth badly. Second half of Alabama showed that. What bodes well for the future... We seem to be extremely well coached and disciplined.. We have some imagination on offense... And our defense seems good. We need some better players at a few positions... And depth.... If he is going this at year 1.... I look forward to year 3 when he has his system in place.... And is getting some high school recruits.... Sky is the limit with him so far.... But the best team in the country does not need 2 over times to win, and should not be struggling out of the gate like we have. We have a punches chance..... Because we don't beat ourselves..

Can beat anyone. Could go undefeated and win the SEC and be a top seed in the playoffs.

However. Wouldn't be shocked to lose to anyone left.
Tennessee- Ive seen far more Ls than Ws so I wouldn't pick UK here with sure confidence if UT forgot where Neyland Stadium is even at.

Mizzou ..they're a good team I'm confident with a UK win but a loss wouldn't shock me at all ..

UF- See UT above although Mark Stoops of all people had their number recently. Big time football talents on roster if they can get it figured out. Have big wins this season so nothing to take lightly.

UL- Rivalry games are crazy..... Could be a blowout for the Cats, could be a nailbiter.....could lose bad and neither should shock anyone with a game of that kind of emotion.

Good news is this isn't old UK and no matter what happens this year UK as a whole will be much better equipped going forward to knock down some of the walls the program has had to fight through over the years and the premier teams advantages over poor little UK will soon be non existent.

But I'm gonna pick 10-2 🙌
