USA Today released their most updated Bowl projections on September 26th - one of the most recent projections from national media. USA Today has certainly been impressed with Kentucky football so far, placing them in the January 1st Outback Bowl against the Michigan State Spartans.
The Outback Bowl is the most prestigious bowl game that UK has been projected to be in so far, and has been in the conversation of for several years, although that could potentially change as the season progresses.
In 2018’s Outback Bowl, South Carolina defeated Michigan.
