ESPN ranks Kentucky as the 10th-best football team...of the 1950s.

Over at ESPN, Bill Connelly ranked college football teams over the last 100 years, breaking them up into the top 10 per decade. Kentucky squeaked onto the list, ranking as the 10th-best team of the 1950s.

It will never cease to amaze me that Kentucky had both Bear Bryant and Adolph Rupp as their football and basketball coaches at the same time. Two of the greatest coaches in college history were both in Lexington winning at unparalleled clips for the same university, and we rarely talk about it aside from spreading the debunked rumor that Rupp received a Cadillac as a bonus while Bryant got either a wristwatch or a lighter.
