ESPN predicts Kentucky football will finish 2nd in SEC East

With only eight days left until the start of Kentucky’s 2022 football season, the final preseason takes are being let loose. Throughout history, this time of year isn’t too kind to the Wildcats, but there is a different buzz in the Lexington air as we head into the fall.

Over at ESPN, senior writer Mark Schlabach broke down his predictions for all Power 5 conferences this season. He rolled through the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12, and ended with the ever-dominant Southeastern Conference. In his predictions, Schlabach has Kentucky finishing 9-3 overall with a 5-3 conference record, good enough to finish second in the SEC East.
