Oh, I wouldn't bet on it. But I was going with who's-their-best-shot. You could swap an improved Kentucky team this year with Tennessee, as far as who from the SEC is going bowling. My main concern was a realistic # of teams hitting the 6-6 mark (and the # who fell short).
No matter how bad Tennessee is, and how good Kentucky thinks they are, the same result happens. Also, Kentucky isn't really "that" improved. The only difference is their schedule was front loaded. Vandy fell apart, giving them one win. And they did pull one off at S. Carolina, Spurrier may have greatly aided, but they did pull one off. But essentially that one win, versus South Carolina, is the win that is giving them credit. That's it. That and no longer scheduling Western Kentucky.
Anyway, this is why Kentucky has so little chance of beating Tennessee...
