Saturday afternoon the No. 1 team in the country is coming to town. It’s the third-straight season Kentucky has faced off against a top-ranked team, yet it’s the first time the Wildcats have hosted the matchup. In Athens last fall Kentucky scored late in the fourth quarter to finish with a 30-13 final score.
This will be the 19th time Kentucky has faced a team ranked No. 1 in the AP Poll. More than half of those meetings have taken place since 1996. This is the sixth time Mark Stoops has squared up against No. 1. Kentucky is 3-15 all-time against teams ranked No.
