I was talking to a Cayut fan about the Missouri game before it was played. He asked me why was Kentucky favored 3 points going into it, when Missouri was ranked #25.
I explained to him that Missouri had slid every week after week 1 in the rankings due to poor performance. They couldn't find a legit reason to drop them out of the top 25, until they lost a game.
The poor performances against UConn and Central Arkansas should have been enough to drop them out, but Missouri is an SEC team so they get the benefit of the doubt by default.
I told him UofK should cover with ease, and to bet the farm, just don't be too shocked, and don't celebrate like you won the National Championship.
He said that UofK looked so horrible against Florida, that even though Missouri is struggling, UofK will still find a way to lose the trap game.
I guess this is some improvement for UofK. They didn't choke away an easy winnable game in a down SEC Year.
Cayuts are SEC Championship bound.
