The Wildcats took a break from the gridiron this week. As Mark Stoops’ team got healthy during the bye, other teams across the college football landscape faltered, shaking up the Kentucky football bowl projections. One upset could have a big impact on who UK plays in the postseason.
In a few previous Kentucky football bowl projections, Coastal Carolina was the Wildcats’ opponent. The Chanticleers are undefeated no more after a weeknight loss at Appalachian State. Coastal is the worst kind of bowl opponent — even if you win you don’t get credit for beating a quality opponent because they aren’t a name brand.
