I believe we'll finish a little higher than that. We'll have to wait and see of course.

Right now no reason to be any higher. You have a first time head coach, you have an under-performing Kentucky team from past 2 years. Should be near the bottom in the preseason rankings of the SEC.

That being said: I believe KENTUCKY is going to surprise everyone. I think Stein gets them to play hard, tough-nosed, smart football. Offense really has nowhere to go but up. Defense hopefully will take a few more risks, stunting and blitz at the right time. Hope we have the play-makers on both sides of the ball and have the best o-line and D-line in the SEC. Does all that happen, probably not. But hopefully we get a good portion of that. With all that we could still only win a handful of games total. GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I say let's lace them up and hit the field. I think we will be better than most think. How much better? We will only know once the season begins. I don't like comparing this team to what we seen the last 2 years. There are very few players from that time and with a different coaching staff. I think the players we have now are better and the coaching staff as well.
