Kentucky Football rises to No. 12 in AP Poll
The University of Kentucky’s football team is now bowl-eligible at 6-1 after defeating Vanderbilt 14-7 Saturday.
The Cats face another struggling SEC opponent this week against Missouri (4-3, 0-3 in conference play) and can become a top-10 football team, an astounding accomplishment in the unforgiving SEC. For now, coach Mark Stoops wants to commemorate the team’s accomplishments.
“Hold your head high, you’re a 6-1 football team,” he said. “On your way moving up into the top 10, we have another great opportunity this week.”
