Week zero of the 2022 college football season is less than 100 days away. As the post-spring practice transfer portal movements slow to a crawl, Billy Connelly has updated ESPN’s SP+ rankings and the Wildcats are moving in the right direction.
Kentucky is now the No. 20 team in the country according to SP+, moving up from No. 21 in the pre-spring practice rankings. The Wildcats’ defense ranks 18th, while the offense comes in at No. 32 overall.
Created by Bill Connelly, SP+ is a forward-thinking metric that projects how a team will perform, rather than simply crunching numbers from past games.
