With the win over Florida, Kentucky is just one victory shy of becoming bowl-eligible for the eighth straight season. If that comes this weekend vs. Georgia, Kentucky’s postseason path takes an exciting new turn, but regardless, the Cats’ bowl projections got a bump after an impressive showing vs. the Gators.
Coming into the weekend, most college football pundits had Kentucky in either the Liberty Bowl or Duke’s Mayo Bowl. The Duke’s Mayo Bowl is still a popular choice, but the Cats are now being mentioned as a contender for a January 1st bowl, the ReliaQuest Bowl, and even a New Year’s Six bowl, the Cotton Bowl.
