Post-Week 8 S&P+ Update (Kentucky 70th)

[JasonS.]

S&P+ has been updated on Football Outsiders, though the Kentucky team page on Football Study Hall isn't updated yet (will be in next few hours).

Despite the loss, we move up from 87th nationally to 83rd (golf clap).

Kentucky Overall: 83rd (14th in the SEC)
Kentucky Offense: 51st
Kentucky Defense: 116th

For comparison's sake, the rest of our schedule after Week 1:

Southern Miss: 67th
Florida: 20th
New Mexico State: 120th
South Carolina: 67th
Alabama: 1st
Vanderbilt: 74th
Mississippi State: 22nd
Missouri: 63rd
Georgia: 14th
Tennessee: 8th
Austin Peay: N/A
Louisville: 16th

The FEI rankings dropped us to 96th. The F/+ has us at 92nd.

Western is #43. Ugh.

Unacceptable in year 4. KY being the 3rd best team in the state for this entire decade is unacceptable.
