This team has everyone returning for the most part, will add depth, are motivated and have the best chemistry of any team in the SEC coming into the preseason. I know it is early, but I think they can get 10 wins possibly, as they get home games with Louisville (my alma mater so dont think I'm a UK fan), Florida, LSU, and Tennessee. Let me know what u think.

Kentucky has returning the best team they have had in 20 years. Having said this, the chances of them winning 10 games this year is preposterous. They play Georgia, Florida, S Carolina, LSU, Tennessee, and Louisville. IF they can win half of these games, which they probably won't, the best they will finish is 8-3. Kentucky will definitely lose to LSU and Florida. If they are lucky, they will finish 3rd in the SEC east. I am glad their football program is on the right track BUT they play the best competition in the country and it will take its toll on them.

I don't know if the defensive players returning is a good thing. I know they had a couple of good games at the end of the year but the rest of the season the defense was horrendous. I also don't know if a home game at Kentucky is as much an advantage as say one at LSU, Florida or Tennessee.
I will give you this. Kentucky's offense was pretty good and looks like it may be better next year. That will keep them in a lot of games but it will be like when Tim Couch was there. They will score a lot of points but get beat in the end by the better teams.

There's no way in HELL that bunch will crack the Top 20 this season. There's definitely NO WAY they win 10 games! They have a history of losing to teams they shouldn't lose to and winning games they shouldn't win, which leaves them consistently between 4-8 wins per year depending on how pathetic their non SEC schedule is.

They will probablly won't be ranked. But I do think they are going to go another bowl game. D.J. Stafford who just comitted to play for them is one of the best DEs in the country. Plus with last years recruiting class they will do fine

I don't think they will garner a top-20 ranking because people aren't used to them winning. If they start well, they might get ranked.

I would be really surprised often you are ranked by how you did last year. UK did not do that well.
