Bowl Projection Fail

All three fans of this site know that I like to focus on bowl projections. Back in May, I reported that Scout had the Cats going to the Chick-Fil-A Bowl, and went over my early SEC projections. This was before the Jeremy Jarmon suspension was announced.

Right now several other outlets are projecting UK out of the bowl picture entirely. More still have us in the very bottom Independence/Pizza Web Site Bowl tier.


Sports Illustrated, ESPN SEC blogger Chris Low and ESPN writer Bruce Feldman are giving us no love whatsoever. All project that the SEC will not fill its allotment of bowls (assuming 2 in the BCS). Thus the snub amounts to a projection that we won't get the 6 wins needed to be bowl eligible.


Kentucky Sports Radio goes Independence v. Colorado, ditto ESPN's Mark Schlabach. The Sporting News has us in the Papajohns.com Bowl v. UCONN.

Of course, my projections for the SEC included a return trip to the Liberty Bowl for the Cats. Again, that was before JJ took his game to the NFL.

Several of the sites I usually discuss haven't posted yet. Still, this is a disturbing trend. Of course, we haven't played a game yet.
