Kentucky’s win over Florida vaulted the Cats into the top ten of both polls and is also reflected in the latest bowl projections. Last week, most prognosticators had Florida going to the Sugar Bowl, but after Kentucky beat the Gators, many have flipped. ESPN’s Kyle Bonagura, Brett McMurphy, and College Football News all have Kentucky in the Sugar Bowl in their latest projections. New Year’s Eve in New Orleans? Yes, please.
If you recall, the Sugar Bowl kicks off at the exact same time as the Kentucky vs. Louisville basketball game on December 31.
