It shouldn’t even be a contest, really. Come on now, Kentucky beat Florida for the first time since 1986. It won nine games in a season for the first time since 1984. It posted a winning conference mark for the first time since 1977. Mark Stoops should be SEC football’s Coach of the Year.
As in all things subjective, however, dissenters likely lurk. Voting is a funny business. Ask our political parties. Or ask the people who vote in the AP’s college football or basketball polls only to be ripped in their Twitter time lines by various fan bases across our great land.
