The 2007 college football season gave us the weird and downright bizarre outcomes that we crave as fans. The best part about that season was the teams that rose up to heights that they had never seen before. Everyone remembers 2007 as the year Kansas football was a player in the national title picture, but it’s easy to forget that the Kentucky Wildcats climbed all the way to No. 8 that year — twice.
It was a dream season for Kentucky, who have always been dreadful and snakebitten on the football field. A 5-0 start got them to number eight in the national rankings.
