Big Blue in the ATL isn't necessarily that different than saying Tennessee will win the East. Both are making spin the wheel picks based on good young talent. Why not.
Why not indeed…
In 1975, Kentucky went 2-8-1 overall and had no wins in conference. That year they lost to #10 Penn State @ Happy Valley by only 1 touchdown. They lost @ #19 Georgia by 1 touchdown. They played #20 Maryland to a 10-10 tie. They limped to the end of the season battered and bruised and played Florida and Tennessee at the end to close it all out.
The following year they went 8-4 in a schedule loaded with home games - same as this fall - Beating #20 Penn State, #16 LSU, and #15 Florida (all at home) along with beating the Vols in Knoxville and #19 North Carolina on the road. UK's schedule sets up well as any and moving TN from the final game to earlier in the season makes it well within chance to find 8 wins this season.
I think most UK fans will be happy with 6 wins but some things may set up for a most unexpected season.
