Preseason projections are starting to feel like a broken record for Kentucky football.
In the latest round of SEC predictions from PEAR, an algorithm-driven projection model focused on win probabilities across the league, the Wildcats find themselves ranked 15th out of 16 teams. Only Mississippi State is projected to do worse.
The model gives Kentucky a 0% chance of winning seven or more SEC games, less than 1% to reach six, and just a 4% chance to notch five. The most likely outcomes?
15% chance to win 4
38% chance to win 3
66% chance to win 2
