The University of Kentucky Wildcats have only beaten two (2) FBS teams since 2012:
The 2012 Flashes were well known for challenging NIU for the MAC Championship. The 2013 Miami Redhawks were well known for winning ZERO games.
An optimistic Wildcat might point to those 59 points against UT-Martin on Saturday and talk about moving forward. But all I do is look back to their 48-14 win over Alabama State last year.
I considered trolling Kentucky football fans with this information, but they're a special kind of delusional.

Well if Kentucky does win tomorrow, that victory will be the first time they've won back-to-back games since they opened the 2011 season.
If anything, I would be expecting a win tomorrow. I'm hoping rain helps our secondary. And of course, I'm banking on the hope that Kentucky's unbridled optimism is mis-placed.

Thanks for posting that article. I love speculative pieces based on modelling results. However, the analysis in the article is absurd. I would not consider the modelling results valid because the data isn't valid. Therefore, the analysis is invalid.
Either their combination model uses data based on last season, or data based on last week. In the first case their interconnected web of data does not accurately reflect the current state of college football. In the second case, there is no interconnected data. Only one week of college football has elapsed. There is only a collection of individual occurences with nothing more than whimisical pre-season rankings, conference afiliations, and unplayed schedules to connect them.
Someone might say, "Well hey, how else am I supposed to estimate how close two teams are in ability?" With only one week of data to consider, no model in the world beats Vegas. But Vegas isn't a computer. The betting lines start as a guess and get validated by the masses when people put money where their mouth is. In the case of this particular game, I think there are a whole lot of delusional SEC fans inflating the spread.

I completely agree C Money. This game reminds me in many ways of the OU-Georgetown game (without the national exposure, or qualified opponent). Those without an esoteric scouting report on the Bobcats were probably dumbfounded when the 9th seed from the MAC tourny upended Georgetown.
I literally typed "Garbage in. Garbage out." in my original text, but deleted the statement before posting.
I would also compare this game to Penn State L.C. But Penn State earned their program's stature. Whether or not UK becomes something more of a football program than they are now, a win over OHIO will only be the very start. As of kickoff on Saturday, Kentucky football has earned nothing.
