LEXINGTON, Ky. - Kentucky’s bowl hopes were handed a boost by the College Football Playoff committee Tuesday.

Two days after the Wildcats fell from No. 12 to No. 21 in the latest USA TODAY Amway Coaches Poll following a loss to Tennessee, the Wildcats fell to just No. 17 in the new CFP ranking.

Before worrying about its chances of playing its way into a higher profile bowl, Kentucky will need to find a way to score more than the 13.
