Start dreaming. Start believing. Heck, start making travel plans for the first weekend of December and beyond. Kentucky Football has a real shot at playing in the SEC Championship in Atlanta on the first Saturday of December and in the College Football Playoff later that month.
Following Kentucky’s come-from-behind 21-13 win over the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman Saturday night, the Cats sit in a tie atop the SEC standings with the Georgia Bulldogs after the latter just lost at home to Auburn.
And at
6-1, the Wildcats are already bowl eligible. It took Will Stein just seven games to hit bowl eligibility for what hopes to be the first of many times in Lexington.
Kentucky is on a five-game winning streak. They’re 3-0 in SEC ROAD games. The last time the Wildcats won three straight road games in the SEC was in 2009.
It wasn’t pretty Saturday night, but it was successful. All that matters is that “W” in the win column. More importantly, Kentucky is tied with the Bulldogs for first place in the SEC. Will Stein was trying to tell everyone all along what was going to happen with him as Kentucky’s head coach.
It was a matter of just showing up to the party sooner or later.
