Sellers found something with his 5 TD performance vs UF and looks to be like his old self. If he plays like he did in 2024 USC will win by two TDs

They are far more likely to end up 6-6 than finish the season with three losses.

A win in Knoxville would be a big deal for Kentucky.

The Tennessee/Kentucky game has been predominantly played in the month of November (which is the case again this year). Here is Kentucky's record broken down by location and when the game is played.

Kentucky vs Tennessee:
Knoxville overall - 11-45-6
Knoxville (October) - 2-1
Knoxville (November) - 9-44-6

Kentucky's most recent win in Knoxville when played in the month of November - 1984.


But wait...Kentucky is ranked this time, unlike most others. What is their record against Tennessee when Kentucky is ranked in the AP top 25?

When Kentucky has played Tennessee while UK is ranked in the top 25, they are 2-6. The wins were 1977 and 1953. Guess where those two games were played...yep. Kentucky has never won in Knoxville when UK is ranked in the top 25.

Tennessee is currently sitting at 6-2. When is the last time that Kentucky beat a Tennessee team with more than 5 total wins (in a complete season)? 1984 (Vols finished 7-4).

Tennessee currently has 3 SEC wins. Unless, they go winless for the remainder of the season...they will have at least 4 SEC wins. The last time Kentucky beat a Tennessee team that finished the season with more than 3 wins was 1958.

what's Kentucky's record vs Tennessee when the wildcats -

a. win the turnover battle
b. convert a 2PAT
c. beat LSU in the same season

those 3 things seem to be more relevant this year than maybe what has transpired v UTK in seasons past -

Kentucky has beaten LSU 8 of 17 games since 1992 expansion - 9 of 20 games since 1989 - UK has clearly had more success against LSU than it has against Tennessee but it might be worth filtering those 3 keys to see if we can come up with a pattern for this year's UK v TN game - :cheers:

to be fair they have played some difficult opponents this season - Charleston Southern comes to mind -

Crazy as it sounds…and I am the last one to say this 3 months ago…I’m kind of enjoying this season. With the exception of Vandy and Arkie anybody can beat anybody. Bama with a measly 25-30 million dollar NIL just took down a 50 million dollar roster with like 6 former Bama starters who left for more money. 3 teams with half of Oregons roster money have taken them down. Kentucky leading the SEC with an NIL budget even less than Bama’s. Transfer portal has created parity and big money doesn’t necessarily mean big wins.

all of that can still occur with college sports not being left ungoverned and unregulated - and just randomly happening in the form of a HBCU spring break takeover on some random beach -

the SEC also needs someone other than a very accomplished highly regarded career educator - operating as conference commissioner in this present day professional sports environment -

Can't wait for the SEC to have four 9-3 teams and only two get chosen for the CFP.

there's a logical outcome of games remaining scenario where the SEC would have SIX teams finish 9-3 -

here's the standings simulator - have fun with it -

Carolina and LSU would qualify for Atlanta :cheers:

the timing of firing their OC coincides with Chip Kelly arriving in Eugene this weekend calling plays for a high scoring and 20th ranked Northwestern -

proof the football gods have a sense of humor - :lol:
