Saw Westside's post with EKU's schedule, so I figured why not get the conversation started on the Wildcat's 2019 season.
8/31 Toledo
9/7 Eastern Michigan
9/14 Florida
9/21 at Mississippi State
9/28 at South Carolina
10/12 Arkansas
10/19 at Georgia
10/26 Missouri
11/9 Tennessee
11/16 at Vanderbilt
11/23 Tennessee-Martin
11/30 Louisville
My initial thoughts on this is that we should have just as good of a season as last year with only 4 away games.
With the way Kentucky has recruited and developed players, there is no reason they can't go at least 7-5 every year. Looking at the schedule, at first glance, and going through the schedule, My first thoughts are 8-4.
6-6 to 7-5 my best guess. A few unanswered questions that spring may help understand.

Do tell us what you think. I agree, I see another 9-3 regular season with this schedule.
I say 4-0 non-conference, either 3-1 or 2-2 at home in SEC (lose to Florida, beat Tennessee and Arkansas, Missouri with Kelly Bryant at qb the coin flip game), and either 1-3 or 2-2 on road in SEC (lose at Georgia, win at Vandy, try to steal one between Miss. St. and South Carolina). Comes out to 7-5, 8-4, or 9-3, Iâll take the middle ground at 8-4.

This was my thoughts as well when first seeing the schedule.
Stoops has definitely built up the depth enough where there shouldn’t be any falling back to a well below .500 season. The defense should still be decent although the secondary is losing a ton. The offense has to improve this off season. AJ Rose is a solid back and the offensive line will be good again, but we won’t be able to just ground and pound like this year. Terry Wilson is going to have to make more explosive plays or it’s going to be a long year on offense.
Iâm going with an 8-4 record for the Cats.
Glad to see everybody else thinking like I am.

I donât think we lose to both Missouri & Tennessee. We will win one of those two.

I think we win both.
Season tickets baby! So I hope it's a great year.
