4-8 best case scenario most likely. 6-6 a dream season. Barnhardt has really hamstrung this program with the contract he gave stoops and can't be taken seriously going forward. Dude needs to retire before the next head fb coaching search takes place. Too bad that wont happen till the end of 2026 or beginning of 2027.

I was looking at the schedule today and was struggling to find 5 wins, but I hope I'm wrong
Three different sports analytics projections for UK.


Set The Kentucky Wildcats Win Total At … 6.5

Likely Wins: Eastern Michigan, Tennessee Tech, Toledo

50/50 Games: at Auburn, Florida, at Louisville, Ole Miss, at South Carolina, Tennessee, at Vanderbilt

The longest tenured coach in the SEC should not be rebuilding all the time and complaining about it being hard when he’s making $9 million per year. Sack up and take the next step like South Carolina, Vanderbilt and Missouri have done. Not saying we can hang with the big boys, but stay above our peers.

Vandy went 6 and 6. They still suck. They are just graded on a cdc level.

Missouri is definitely a team that has risen up. No sec or title threat but been solid
