BTI’s Rants and Ramblings: Football Scheduling Doesn’t Match Our Attitude

In 2005, the Kentucky football team played 3 non-conference football games. Louisville, Indiana, and Idaho State. Remember, it was just an 11-game schedule back then. Since that year of football, Kentucky has played 14 football seasons under 3 head coaches (Brooks, Phillips, and Stoops). And in those 14 years of football, Kentucky football has played:

-Louisville 14 times
-FCS teams 14 times
-MAC teams 12 times
-Sun Belt teams 11 times
-Conference USA teams 4 times
-FBS Independent teams 1 time
-Pac-12, Big 12, Big 10, AAC, and ACC 0 times

And the non-conference schedules for 2020 through 2024 are already booked.
