It was an outstanding season for Mark Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats.
But now, all focus is on 2019, and the Cats will have to make up for a lot of seniors that were on the defense, as well as the best running back in school history.
After losing all of that talent, we now have a sense of how the 2019 Cats are being viewed in preseason rankings.
Athlonsports.com ranked every team in division one football, and the Cats came in a number 39. They were sandwiched in between Mississippi State at 38 and South Carolina at 40.
