In 130 days the 2023 college football season will kick off in Dublin, Ireland when Notre Dame takes on Navy. It’s the perfect time to roll out a new preseason top 25.
This ranking system is another computer-based projection created by ESPN. The Worldwide Leader uses two primary power ratings, SP+ and FPI. Mark Stoops’ 2023 Kentucky football team ranked No. 24 in the first preseason SP+ ratings. FPI was not so kind to the Cats.
Kentucky falls just outside of the first edition of the 2023 ESPN FPI rankings at No. 28 overall.
