After losing to Vanderbilt, Kentucky’s final two games are “win or go home.” However, that isn’t necessarily true.
IF Kentucky fails to beat Louisville in the season finale and suffer another 5-win season, there’s still a chance they could make the postseason. This year there is a record 41 bowl games needing 80 teams to fill all of the slots. Currently, there are 62 teams that are bowl eligible with 6-wins. 32 others, including Kentucky, have a chance to get to six but in all likelihood there will not be 80 6-win teams.
So what is the NCAA going to do?
