The irony here is that Levis has leapt up draft boards off the strength of his Georgia game film, lol

A bad O-line would make Tom Brady look bad, and Cleveland got Couch killed repeatedly.

If 7 wins is a long season, this UK fan will take it.

I'm just here for the dumb Will Levis takes.

And of course, condolences to our SEC friends at Mississippi State. Thank you for bringing him back to the league.

Well done post Matt. Thankful for Mike Leach. He and Hal Mumme made Kentucky football so much fun to watch. One-of-a-kind. RIP coach.

Thanks V!!! We’ll happily take him as we try to rebuild that Big Blue Wall. Best of luck to the Dawgs, hope you get the repeat this year.

Agree, Ville. The last five seasons have seen 10, 8, 5, 10 and either 7 or 8 this year. Losing to Vandy *was* terrible and inexcusable. But if this SDS writer thinks a 7 or 8 win Kentucky football team is trending down...well he's welcome to think that. UK fans have more things to be concerned about, like getting beer served in Kroger Field.

Kentucky, Miss. State, South Carolina and I’d say even Missouri could beat any team from 15 on down.

It sure is strange how Kentucky always gets the benefit of the doubt with the refs in Columbia. Anywhere else in the league and the Rodriquez fumble call (which was not an obvious fumble) goes against UK. Missouri is improving. Unlike the mirage of South Carolina, I see Eli coming close to turning the corner. (Can you tell I like him more than Beamer?)

I wouldn’t worry about the trolls, TigerTD. Missouri is a fine school with solid athletic programs. As if other fanbases have the right to have a say who is worthy of SEC admission and who is isn’t. Please. I’ve been surprised that Missouri basketball hasn’t been better since joining the league. That one is puzzling. I have a lot of respect for your fanbase. It’s got a Midwest appreciation for sports that to me, is preferable to some of the Deep South mentalities that persist where only football success matters I think Mizzou has been a great fit for a more well-rounded conference!

Proud of the Cats. I think UK should always play a game in the mountains…it’s where Rupp used to get players, and any money to that area is a thing. Way to go, BBN

In no way am I suggesting Kentucky is a world-beater but c‘Mon. Lost a heartbreaker on the road to #7 and the only other loss was with Levis out.

Surely you're joking, right? Credit to SC for taking advantage of a perfect situation: a first-year OC, a freshman QB. I'd pump the brakes a bit first, Gene.

Barrion Brown not even an honorable mention? OK then.

The SEC is a tough, tough league and the games are fun to watch. And it's thrilling to have a football program that is no longer a joke. I want to win 10 games and go to Atlanta and it will be a blast seeing if the Cats can do it. Go Big Blue.

Oh man what coulda been. Road games in the SEC are tough. Credit to Ole Miss for once again pulling out a narrow win over Kentucky.

I know it's the job of this site to share any and all news, but at this point I'd rank Andy Katz's rankings with those of Big Game Boomer. This one is silly. What is it even based on?

You know Bob Stoops, the all-time wins leader at Oklahoma who must have replaced his brother Mark as coach this year, although that sure looked like Mark on the sidelines. ???

Vols fans can say what they want, the hate between UK and UT is strong, but you ask anyone in BBN which victory carries more clout, hands down it’s the Florida game. We could win the next 10 vs the Gators and they’d still be burning couches in Lex. Simply put, you beat Florida, the nationals writers know about it. Beating Tennessee barely moves the needle.

Have not gotten over the psychological damage from Kyle Trask coming in. Reminded me of when we were blasting Louisville and they pulled the starter and put in Lamar Jackson.

Levis got hit on a sack and while technically it was an interception by the book, it wasn’t really. He also took a hit I thought had killed him, but bounced back up. Durability ought to factor into these rankings, oughtn’t it?

As a Kentucky fan I have a lot of respect for Billy Napier. Solid guy, well-spoken. Carries himself with a great deal of integrity. Florida has some great running backs. There’s no clear stud wide receiver or tight end as they’ve had. On the line of scrimmage is where the lack of quality depth is evident. SEC is a four quarter league and historically where UK has almost always come up short. Best of luck to the Gators the rest of the season.

Hey look it’s the Louisville troll.

It is fun, Boll! UK women’s volleyball team won a natty last year as did our rifle team who have won several. Track and field is also kicking major national butt. Florida has a strong rep across all sports to be sure, but UK ain’t too shabby!

He’s probably kicking himself, but then again I think the majority of sportswriters under a certain age have no clue about their history, other than the most recent.

Kentucky has its whole secondary back, Huntland you are the only commenter I've seen that's talked about the defense, and you're right, Stoops will make AR try to beat them through the air.

Hope the Cats make it 3 of the last 5. Don't know if UK can overcome C-Rod being out, but I can guarantee these guys won't be fazed. That's no shade on Florida or the Swamp, it's just credit to Mark Stoops and Vince Marrow for putting the program on such solid footing for like the first time in my life.

Rooting for all the SEC schools to win in blowout fashion. We can start lovingly hating on one another next week!

Kentucky, Arkansas and Tennessee arguably have more promise than Florida or LSU but let’s ignore the preseason polls and just assume they’re better. What a joke of an article.
