One of the bigger surprises of last season resided at Kroger Field, as the Kentucky Wildcats vaulted up the SEC standings and finished second in the SEC East. While still sizably behind Georgia, Kentucky put the rest of the division on notice.
Speaking of second-place teams in their own division, Miami (OH) just missed out on the MAC Championship after narrowly losing to Kent State, the MAC East champs, in a thrilling 48-47 contest.
After turning it around and ending on a high note with a bowl win over North Texas, Miami will look to start off hot with a win over Kentucky, which is missing some key players because of off-field issues.
It needs to be noted that the last time we saw the Wildcats in action they were losing in the first round of March Madness to 15-seed Saint Peter’s.
