The answer is no. They will be lucky to win 3 of their non conference games, and the only possible SEC win for them is Vandy, and even that's not a given.

Stoops shouldn't be able to survive a 4-8 season after his abysmal tenure so far. But it's Kentucky so who knows, they'll probably give him an extension if he keeps it close against Louisville.

Here's their schedule, which is tough as always because it's Kentucky and any game they play will be hard.

Southern Miss
@Florida
New Mexico State
South Carolina
@Alabama
Vanderbilt
Mississippi State
@Missouri
Georgia
@Tennessee
Austin Peay
@Louisville

I see maybe 4 wins, gonna be a struggle though.

They SHOULD win 7 games with that schedule.

It really comes down to what the new coaches at Mizzou and USCe do, in my opinion.


Southern Miss - W
@Florida - L
New Mexico State - W
South Carolina - ?
@Alabama - L
Vanderbilt - W
Mississippi State - L
@Missouri - ?
Georgia - L
@Tennessee - L
Austin Peay - W
@Louisville - L


I see 6 most likely losses on the schedule so they have to win both those games. Definitely doable if those coaches don't turn around two programs that were going the wrong direction quickly last year.

Yeah I go back and forth on that one. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt since they lost a close one on the road last year and now it's at home this year. That Vandy defense should be really good but their offense is beyond bad. I think they'll have the edge at home.

Southern Miss is often a pretty good team that can give fits to lower level SEC teams. They scored 28 last year in a close game with Nebraska. New Mexico State and Austin Peay are two of the worst teams...ever, so those are gimmies.

Correct and they've recruited pretty well the last 4 years in relative terms (better than other lower tier SECE teams)

I think they beat both SC and Mizzou

They have done a good job recruiting. I'm surprised it hasn't shown up on the field.

Might be coaching?
