Kentucky softball will take on a pivotal three-game series against No. 6 Tennessee at home this weekend.
While Kentucky, currently ranked No. 16 in the nation, has as good of a chance as any to get the series win against the Vols, especially in Lexington, it arguably has an even higher chance of being handily defeated by Tennessee.
In fact, against opponents currently ranked within the top 25, Kentucky holds a 3-8-1 record, having lost eight of its last 10 games against ranked opponents.
Looking at the SEC alone, Kentucky has played four conference series, holding a 7-5 record, which drops to 2-4 against ranked conference opponents.
