Well our next game against will be the 4th game in a row to play top 20 teams.

With polls coming out Sunday, and the Kentucky football team set to play No. 1 Alabama, officially this is now the first time in school history that the Wildcats have taken on Top-20 ranked opponents in four consecutive games.

According to The Associated Press poll, with rankings listed at the time the game was played, Kentucky has taken on No. 7 Louisville, No. 19 Florida, No. 13 South Carolina and No. 1 Alabama. UK’s strength of schedule vs. teams played already is No. 8 in the nation according to the Sagarin Ratings in USA Today. That does not include the upcoming game vs. Alabama, so UK’s schedule rating will be even higher next week.

UK has played three consecutive ranked opponents in nine seasons previously (1958, 1968, 1970, 1976, 1988, 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2012) but this is the first time to play four in a row.

Catmandoo, you know what makes me sick? Ohio State schedule! The only test they have is Michigan at the end of the year. I don't even think Northwestern is that good and they barely beat them. That's why I call them the "Luck eyes"! lol They will probably cruise to the title game again. Arrrrrgh!!

blue, That's almost as bad as those mighty Cardinals who play the biggest patsy schedule of any top 50 team in the country.
