I mean it hasn't been pretty but it's FUN!! Halfway thru and 5-1 is NOT what anyone expected. And we look damn good doing it. I think UK is in great shape for a playoff spot. still can't believe it what a win!
So Umm with that Win, I think We've Entered the Playoff Conversation...
- Thread starter FunkyFatCan
- Start date
We've alr3ady won the championship in my h3ad what are you talking about? Go Cats!
Well let’s be realistic
two loss or less sec gets in does it not?
muzzou Florida Tennessee Oklahoma…can we win 3 or all of them?
I’d argue lsu is better than all of them by a good bit. So if we csn get to bye week…I think it is in play

Got to go 10 and 2 to make a 12 team playoff.
We got 2 games u feel good about n last half to win n vandy and UL.
Then 4 swing games against florida, Oklahoma. Tn and Missouri. Oh and 3 of those on the road.
If we win at Oklahoma and beat vandy then UK should be ranked fairly high n first playoff rankings n November.

We control our destiny. That's insane as is. Keep winning
We’re in the conversation, I don’t we make it this season, but we should absolutely be talking about 8-4 or even 9-3 right now. It’s right there for the taking.
It’s crazy we’re even in the conversation. It’s unbelievable.

Haha let's just Crack the top 25 first....
We are top 25. The ap pollsters were high on some meth and heroine to unranked uk for winning at sc.
i mean we're 3rd in SEC halfway thru the season. Im not saying we're gonna make the playoff just saying that halfway thru the season Kentucky is still VERY relevant in the playoff picture nationally
To even be here is bizarro alternate reality world level from where everything stood in the preseason.
Just think back. Not that long ago, where this program was....

There were some exciting times with Stoops but this just feels different.
After what S. Carolina did to Florida and what we did tonight, we are a legit 15th ranked team.
Can’t jump ahead in this conference. Take it game by game and week by week. Let the chips fall where they may. Lot of football left before we would even consider that. Plus you have the SEC championship game and stuff. We have the opportunity to have a great year now. Way ahead of where we expected to be at worst.
It’s crazy that 8 or 9 wins is possible with this schedule this fast.
Missouri will be handful on the road.
If the dumb sec had agreed to a 24 team playoff UK would be a lock at 8 and 4 to make it. Now we gotta go 10 and 2 to have a shot. Also, they left vandy out last season at 10 and 2.
We’ve got a tough second half schedule short of Vandy.
Oklahoma, Tennessee, Mizzou, Florida- then rivalry week.
if we could miraculously manage to only lose one of those games, we’d be in the playoffs. 3 losses is hard unless you’re named Alabama.

What is this trash? We were 24 and won on the road in the SEC and some idiots didn’t like it so they shoved us down. They look like morons now. We should be top 15.
For the first time in my life it doesn't feel like fools gold. With Stoops it never felt like we were building on big wins, they just felt like great moments. This feels totally different, Steins recruiting class was good but look at what he's done with good. He might leapfrog over a great class and go straight to an elite one, imagine what he could do with that.
At a minimum, Will Stein deserves SEC Coach of the Year.
For real... like using a WR at QB to win a game against UT. yeah great moment but doesn't change the fact that you were so thin at QB you had to use a WR
UK has looked like the better team against everyone but Bama. LSU might be the better team talent wise but we have better coaching which is what won the game today
We won tonight but LSU did look better. One of the more improbable wins of my life actually. We made the plays, we got the breaks, calls went in our favor for a change most of the night. A Win is a win. I would not want to play them again, thankfully we don’t have too, they are a very good team.For real... like using a WR at QB to win a game against UT. yeah great moment but doesn't change the fact that you were so thin at QB you had to use a WR

One game at a time. Absolutely no gimmies left. But you’re right it would be nice to be part of the conversation for a while.
That would be nice but there’s a lot of football left to play and we don’t have an easy road.
Beat Oklahoma Vanderbilt then Tennessee and then you're in the conversation.....BIG TIME.
Big.
After that beat florida at home and you can taste it..
You're probably in even if you lost those last two games.. .
26.
19 tomorrow.
13 ok
11 candy
8 Orange lovers
6 Florida
Lose mizzo 9
Lose to losers 12
It's just winning all the way through Florida put you so far into it that it's almost hard for you to fall out of it.
And honestly they should win the Louisville game.
So if you win without losing through Florida you're in the playoffs....
should be favored over Oklahoma
Should be favored over Vanderbilt
Probably a 5 Point underdog to Tennessee
Should be a favorite over Florida
Probably a 3 point underdog in Missouri
Should be a favorite against Louisville
9-3 with two top 10 wins. We in.
Beating Oklahoma will be ******* huge. We will be no less in ranked 13th. Then you get a vandy boost

You’re right. I didn’t realize a two loser Vandy got left out but 3 loss bama got in. What a gyp
Lot of hard road games left. I’d love to see some people get healthy for that run. It’s doable though. I was shocked what SC did to Florida today. We can win any game left or lose any game. 1 day at a time.
Don’t know if they looked better. Fwiw, key stats like total yards gained were virtually identical
Has to go down as one of the biggest ranking injustices of all time. Both us and south carolina proved it yesterday.
I still think there's a talent gap between Kentcky and the top15 teams or so, thats ultimately going to bite us for another loss or two.. but you never know. That was, what, our 2nd hardest remaining game?
He’s knocking on the door of National Coach of the Year!
Getting some luck wrt injuries will be necessary I think. Our starters can play with pretty much anyone, but if we have to start moving players around (even more than we already are as of last night) to fill different holes and play a significant number of snaps with deeper reserves after some fatigue sets in for our "core" guys with this brutal schedule... That's when we are at risk of being exposed a bit if we lose enough manpower. Last night we held it together and pulled through, but our reward is a road opponent with a physical defense that just beat the #1 ranked team. And after that, doitagain, doitagain, doitagain, doitagain, doitagain. I'll be crossing fingers, toes and everything else into pretzels weekly for luck and hoping fate smiles on us health-wise.
