The Cats are on the rise after beating top-ten Ole Miss.
The Kentucky Wildcats went to Oxford and came out with a win, something most didn’t think was possible. Their defense continues to show why they are among the best units in the nation.
While the offense still leaves a bit to be desired at times, Dane Key’s rising stardom and Brock Vandagriff’s development will be a massive factor as the season progresses. While the Cats will have some work to do, they are now widely expected to make a bowl game this season.
Which one do they crack is the better question. Some experts have broken down where they see the Cats landing when it is all said and done.
Let’s dive into the latest 10 projections for where Kentucky could go bowling come this winter.

“For the Wildcats, humiliating previously unbeaten Ole Miss on the road softens the sting of two previous SEC losses to South Carolina and Georgia at home. The Wildcats will be a tough out the rest of the way if their defense continues to perform at an elite level,” Brad Crawford of 247 Sports wrote.
After Saturday’s massive win, the Cats are now 3-2 overall and 1-2 in the SEC. With very winnable games vs. Vanderbilt, Florida, Auburn, Murray State, and Louisville still on tap, there’s plenty of potential for bigger bowls to come into the picture by season’s end.
