Well, I am a huge UK fan, but we are not ready to be among the nations elite football programs. If we had to play USC, Oklahoma, Texas, UK would never have a chance at teams like that to get a win.

Kentucky's win over a terrible Louisville team and a rebuilding Arkansas team carries no weight. A loss to South Carolina last thursday really shows that UK is not ready to join the Elite programs. our #8 ranking came based on a win over Florida Atlantic coupled with so many losses amongst the top 10...We got lucky because they had to put us somewhere...

I enjoyed the #8 ranking and felt that we were overrated, but a win over South Carolina would have solidified that ranking, but it served up the truth on a silver platter that we are not yet elite. If we beat LSU & Florida, then I will believe !

What is up with all the UK fans turning on their team after one bad game? While UK may not be the #8 ranked team, they are still a good team. Don't give up hope.

Also, why should we think that the South Carolina game showed the Cats' true colors, while the first 5 games were just a mirage? I personally feel that South Carolina is even more overrated than the Cats right now. They did not look like a great team the other night, at best a team on the same level as UK, but Kentucky made the stupid turnovers and they didn't. If we played them 10 times this season, I expect that we would probably split the series even up.

I don't expect us to beat LSU or Florida either, but that still won't make us suddenly a bad team even if we lose both. Just a good team that got dealt a rough stretch by the schedule-makers. An 8-4 season is still well within reach.
