After loss, where might Kentucky go bowling? Here are this week's picks

Despite dropping its first game of the season on Saturday, the Kentucky Wildcats are in good shape for the postseason heading into a bye week.

Kentucky is 5-1 and tied for second in the SEC East. Just one win away from bowl eligibility, the Cats should be favorites in remaining games against Vanderbilt, Louisville and Middle Tennessee State.

But where might the Wildcats go bowling? The experts differ after half a season of play.

Here's a look at where Kentucky may be headed this postseason (projected opponent in parentheses):
