With only eight days left until the Kentucky Wildcats kick off against Louisiana Monroe, the team is getting some more love when it comes to preseason rankings.
Mike Farrell of Rivals released his preseason top-25 on Friday, and he has Kentucky coming in at No. 17.
Kentucky this off-season has received pretty steady praise, with most ranking them inside the top 30-50. CBS Sports has them ranked 35th, while the first USA Today Sports AFCA Coaches poll has them 37th. Then you find the rankings that aren’t so high, such as the ESPN SP+ rankings, which has the Cats ranked 57th overall.
