Here’s what CBS’s Tom Fornelli had to say about his seeding for the Wildcats.
“Kentucky’s nonconference schedule includes Toledo, Eastern Michigan, UT-Martin and Louisville; that Louisville game would have been a lot more valuable two years ago than it is now. The Wildcats also benefit from a relatively soft draw from the West in Arkansas and Mississippi State, and while they get Georgia on the road, Florida, Missouri and Tennessee all come to Kroger Field.”
Fornellia makes a good point. Kentucky will have most of their traditionally-challenging games all inside Kroger Field this year – Florida, Tennessee and Louisville, for starters.
