Honestly...UK. The talent is close but I think we have better players. Not talking recruiting stars, but pure potential on the football field. I might could name about 10 guys that would easily start at most teams not named Alabama or Georgia.
We play 10 times, I'd honestly have no idea what to say. I am at a lost of what to expect from UK now. I won't be shocked if we lose to MTSU or win by 50.
As for rankings. On a good day we're a fringe top 25 team. On a bad day, yikes. UT is UT. Probably somewhere around 40-50. Doesn't mean UT doesn't compete and fight hard though, which is important when you're rebuilding a program.
Purely mental and coaching. I could rant for 10 paragraphs, but it comes down to UK being unable to get out of their own way. The hail mary at the end of the half? What other team in the nation would allow that so easily? The awful play calling? Only at UK can we waste a once in a lifetime mix of talent.
I'm absolutely gutted about our team right now.
