I know it's been reported that it's pretty much a "done deal" that UK is headed to Nashville. But...

I still think there could be a possibility that we could still drop to the Independence. Here's how, and it would have to start with Ga. Tech beating Clemson in the ACC championship game. The Chick-Fil-A has apparently already decided to take Va. Tech regardless of what happens, and the Gator, which picks third, wants Florida State. Next for the ACC is the Champs Sports in Orlando, which reportedly really wants Miami. Then comes the Music City with the #5 pick.

So why do I bring up the ACC bowl picks? Because apparently the Music City is contractually obligated to take the ACC championship game loser if they drop to them, and under the above scenario, that's exactly what would happen. That of course would mean that if the folks in Nashville pick Kentucky too, then this years MCB will be a rematch of the UK-Clemson game from 3 years ago. Would the people in charge of the MCB really want that? I don't know, and I wonder if they might decide to take Georgia instead to match up with Clemson.

After thinking about all this, I believe all UK fans need to root for Clemson to upset Ga. Tech this Saturday. Because if Clemson heads to the Orange Bowl, I think UK is a lock for Nashville (and I really want to go there).
