I am penciling in 4-1 with 7 toss up games that could easily go either way. UK should win at least 2 of the 7 to make a bowl. UK's offense will be much improved, mainly through more size and experience on the OL and a year's experience for Towles and the WR corps.

A few comments:

@Carolina: USC has overachieved in football the last decade or so but over time they and UK have been about on the same level. I see USC returning to form as the Spurrier years wind down

Florida: EVERYONE says this IS the year that UK will break the streak and beat UF, which tells me that it probably won't happen this year.

Mizzou: UK has Mizzou at home; they are offensively challenged, UK is better, and they will overlook UK. Sounds like a recipe for a win to me.

Auburn: UK has them at home and I suspect AU is quite a bit overrated. I remember a few years ago, UK went to Auburn and was a big underdog, but pushed the tigers around like ragdolls, ran the football, and came away with a win.

Miss St: MSU lost a lost off last year's team and may be severely challenged on offense. If UK can stop the run they win, a big "if."

Tennessee: UK has them at home and played horribly against them last year. UT will be overconfident and aren't as good as they think they are.

Louisville: UK has them at home and is hungry for a win, and will be much improved, but there is still a talent gap there. UK has closed that gap some but is that enough for a win?
