The Kentucky Wildcats football team easily proved themselves to be among the top 25 programs in the country after a thrilling win over then-No. 15 Iowa.
As the final Coaches Poll was released this week, the Cats came in at No. 15, which is three spots higher than their ranking in the final AP Poll.
Noted by Jon Hale of the Courier Journal, there were two coaches who left UK off their final top 25. One of which was San Diego State’s Brady Hoke, and the other is a familiar name in Michigan State’s Mel Tucker, who even had Iowa at No.
