This is the ultimate high-stakes showdown.
For Kentucky (5-5), the mission is simple: secure a fourth straight win, earn bowl eligibility, and put a definitive stamp on Mark Stoops' job security.
For No. 14 Vanderbilt (8-2), the mission is historic: win to keep their long-shot College Football Playoff hopes alive and go 6-0 at home for the first time since 1982.
Kentucky heads to Nashville as the ultimate spoiler in a game that means everything for both sides.
