The only question now is which bowl?
Jon Hale of the Courier-Journal looks at the most likely scenarios:
1. Liberty Bowl (Dec. 31, Memphis, Tennessee)
The Liberty Bowl seems likely to be no higher than third on Kentucky’s preference list, but the two New Year’s Day Florida bowls in the “Pool of Six” are likely to go to Auburn and Texas A&M if only three SEC teams reach the New Year’s Six.
The Belk Bowl would likely be UK’s next choice, but Tennessee will likely be in play for both it and the Liberty Bowl as well and could be given preference thanks to its head-to-head win over Kentucky.
