Even a 10-2 UK has no chance I think after basically 30 point losses to Bama and UT.SEC will have 3-4 teams and I just can’t see a way. Hope I’m Wong.
UK Out of Playoffs After tonight’s game.
- Thread starter Buckwheat Otay Is Dead
- Start date
Wong or Wight too early to say.
Georgia is in.
We need lsu to beat TN so they have a 3rd loss.
UK needs to win out or they are done.
I dont see texas finishing 10 and 2 either.
So if UK goes 10 and 2 and only Georgia as well 0% chance they can justify UK being out. Now if tn goes 10 and 2 they will be n over UK but I still dont see how uk isnt in n that scenario too.
I know vandy got left out at 10 and 2 but that was a stronger bubble IMO
I dont think UK goes 10 and 2 anyways so sadly a moot point.

We’re still in the CFP mix. Ohio State lost and Ole Miss getting hammered. Gotta win out though.
Never could have imagined before the season started that after 9 games we'd be running the math on CFP scenarios. The loss sucked but the future is still bright.
Need to beat Florida before worrying about it. Got beat by thirty points tonight and yall want to keep saying 10-2.
Let's get to 8-2 first??

Still a lot of football left. But, this is a good but not great team. All the things that won the last few games (smart play, no turnovers, few penalties) didn’t happen. Even if we don’t make the playoffs, it’s been a great season.
Win out and maybe need LSU to beat TN and TX. End up 3rd in SEC I think we’re definitely in
Honestly don't deserve to be in the playoffs. Showed tonight we are not as good as we thought we were. Getting absolutely blown out by a Tennessee team that is mediocre at best is a horrible look.
We finish with 2 losses we are 100% in. I don’t think we do, but reality is no SEC team is getting left out with 2 losses
BYU, ole miss, and LSU losing all helped us also.

Kentucky fans are the only ones thinking this team was great and not good. Entire nation has seen the way we've won. We're a good team. Nothing more.
Its OK to be honest.
This is not a playoff team... And I really hope we don't make it.... Because depending on who we get.... We will get exposed on a national level.... Get a good bowl game....win...and build on next year.... Play off teams don't collapse twice in the 3rd qrt... And they don't need 2 OT and 2 point conversions to win.. Don't get me wrong.... I am happy as hell to have our coach.... But the hype was to there... We are good.... And can possibly beat nearly anyone any given night.... But we are not a dominate team... We are a take advantage of your mistakes and not make many ourselves.... And when we make out own mistakes.... We take away our chance at victory.... I think Stien can get us there..... But it's going to take time.
With this stupid 9 game schedule it will be hard to remain a 2 loss team by anyone other than Georgia . UK will be sucking hind tit if you have 3-4 teams with 3 losses
Watch the other playoff teams ... we would get absolutely *** blasted by any of them.
With that said, I had us winning 5 games all year before the season started .. still can have a damn good year and build off that.

Totally agree. Guarantee not many people even predicted us winning 7 total games this season. I think I know that coach is spitting nails right now and I think he will remember this game for a long time. I also think he will shore up whatever players we need and we will go on a steady course to a championship in SEC. Now let's go and win these last 3 games to end the regular season.
Unfortunately I think you are right and the rest of the country is right in that Kentucky is overrated.
I told everyone who'd listen that we'd most likely finish 7-5.
Of course, that was aimed at cooking up a 2+ weeklong reverse jinx that apparently was sabotaged from within.
This more of the typical over-reacting crybaby crap in this thread. If UK wins out and doesn't make the playoffs that would be some serious BS. The outcome tonight sucks but we are definitely capable of beating this UTjr team and I would like our chances if it were played at Commonwealth.
I don’t think anyone on the UK side thought we were a great team. We have always just been a good team that didn’t best ourselves. Tonight we beat ourselves. TN defense played well and made a couple of plays that helped blow the game open but for the most part we beat ourselves. TN certainly didn’t hand our asses To us on the field. Scoreboard says they did but that isn’t the case. We beat ourselves.
Not going to give Tennessee any credit for the way we played and beat our self? They were knocking the complete shitt out of us every play. They whoooped our ***. Them and the refs. All around *** whooping. Crowd was crazy like we were for lsu. No credit to Tennessee?
A 10-2 Kentucky team with arguably the hardest schedule in the country is getting in the playoffs lol
They get credit for coming up with plays when they did. They did a good job bringing pressure on Minchey for example but the stats of the game were very close. We had 6 more first downs, yard ms were in their favor by 28. They didn’t turn it over, we did 3 times. Mincheys first INT was just a really bad throw into double coverage. They didn’t make a play, just caught a bad pass. They made the plays we have been making and seemed like they got a friendly whistle with only one holding call while we had 5. Not sure we had 5 holding calls all year much less 5 in one game. Scoreboard was a 4 TD game but total BS. Like Bama we quit and just got into desperation mode.
I thought we have no shot even at 10-2 as well but espn shows us as 99% making the playoffs even at 10-2.
It’d be the most Kentucky thing ever to go into the UL game 9-2 with a chance at the playoffs and **** the bed just like tonight.

Screw that. I’d rather get blown out in the playoffs than to go play in some meaningless bowl game that we’ve been to before. I dont necessarily see us getting blown out in the first game anyway. If they made it then they’d have gone 10-2. I’m not calling a win that first round but I don’t see a blowout unless there’s an all systems failure like tonight.
Even good teams lay an egg sooner or later. UK doesn’t win because of superior talent, they win because of heart and hustle. Tonight was an off night and it sucked it was against the terds to the south. Still love my team and think the game would’ve been different outside of the toilet they played in.
At 10-2 we would. Not saying we will do that but if we are 10-2 we get in.
Do you not own a tv or a phone with internet? How are you posting here right now?
Kentucky has been media darlings. Heaps of praise.
They have been talk3d about. But the talk has been we are overrated . We as fans have been having fun enjoying the wins. The rest of the country has kept saying we aren't good. They keep picking against us.
I've seen plenty of other fans happy for us but nobody really thought we were a real threat.
If Ky wins out - we have a great chance of making the playoffs because we won’t be in the SEC Championship Game.meaning the loser in that game will have 3 loses If Georgia wins out. Time to start cheering for LSU & Bama.
Kentucky fans acting like winning out before tonight's blowout was a real possibility because most kentucky fans were caught up in the fun of winning games.
A win is a win which is why when we kept winning we were number six in the country. But anybody that knows football and has watched UK play knew better. The way we were winning wasnt going to keep happening. Offense has been bad all season. Defense has been bad too but they somehow kept coming up with timely turnovers erasing all of the bad play before hand.
Its amazing what Kentucky has done this year. I dont see a win next week but if they do then we should be right back in playoff talks according to what everyone has said.
We win out, we're likely in.
Who cares if we got blown out in two games or some here think we "don't deserve" it. 10-2 in the SEC with a very tough schedule means you're likely in and you take that if that ends up being the case.

In or out I’m damn proud of the team! We were picked to finish 14th in the SEC this season. Nobody gave us a chance at even getting bowl eligible.
That is correct. There is NO scenario where, if UK finishes 10-2, that we’re not in the playoffs - zero. Not sure why people don’t see the math on this.
We’ll drop to #10 Tuesday. SEVERAL of the 9 teams above us WILL LOSE in the next 3 weeks, moving UK up ahead of any of those teams ranked between 5-9.
If UK wins 3 straight games they’ll not only be IN the playoffs, hosting a 1st round game is still not out of the question - depends on who loses ahead of us.
Now, after all that explaining, I’m not sure the Cats DO actually win 3 straight
to finish the regular season, but if they do, they are 100%, absolutely, positively in the playoffsUK is not out. But they have zero wiggle room. Win the last three games. I’m not sure that happens but it has been one hell of a ride.
