If this holds true, one would think it puts them in a bowl game, and progress is being made.

Couldn't possibly finish 4th.. We have the worst dline in the sec.. So i expect to finish 3 spots below last place...

4th might be optimistic, but really I think the competiton for the 4 spot is more vandy than usc or Missouri. That said, I still think they could come in 5th and still get the 6 wins for a bowl. Do that and nobody is gonna care about 4th or 5th in the east

Big East, MAC, OVC, whats the difference. We would be at the top of any of those conferences most years. In the ACC, we would be fighting UofL for the 3rd spot in the Atlantic division most years and we would be first or second in the Coastal division most years. However, we are not in the ACC. If we want to compete with the big dogs in the SEC we will have to surpass where little brudder is right now.

I would be happy with fourth place. Actually, little known negative streak I would like to break is that Kentucky has never won three games against SEC East opponents in the same season since SEC went to divisions in the early 1990s.

How do you figure UK would do so good in those conferences?

Big East, MAC, OVC? We are just much better than those teams and usually beat them.

ACC? I am using UofL as a gauge. They are a very comparable team that has needed some breaks to beat us the last 2 years and a team that is probably going to enjoy one more year of being slightly better than us.

UK isn't finishing fourth. Likely sixth or seventh
justify us finishing worst than South Carolina, who was awful last year & wont be better, and Mizzou who will be taking a big step down from 2016 as well, and Vandy who we gift wrapped and gave the W to last year

facts only please

If you can put together a solid run defense, you might compete for the East title. The front seven is the key to a successful year this year and next...

Maybe the MAC or OVC - but the AAC ( Big East)has some pretty good teams in it. Also the UK team from the last few years would have struggled to make a bowl in the ACC just like they did in the SEC.

4th is my guess, we will be better than Mz, USaC Jr and Vandy.OOC wins and we are bowling. Anything above 6 and we overachieved.

And the basketball team and the Reds and anybody else he talks about. You have heard of the glass is half empty? This Dakota dude just inspired a new saying; the glass is completely empty. Probably wakes up every morning and says "damn"!
