During the 2021 season, Kentucky football put together an historical start to the year as the Wildcats raced off to a 6-0 start to set up a division title clash with Georgia at Sanford Stadium in October. That game was made even more significant when Rece Davis, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and the crew rolled into Athens as College GameDay was on site.
Kentucky ended up losing that game to the eventual national champions by 17 points, but playing on that stage did far more good than bad for the program as CBS also brought their team to the contest for the premium game in the SEC that week.
