No, Kentucky is not going bowling this year. In fact, some of the late projections the Wildcats found themselves in post-Tennessee Tech with two wins to go before, well, you know, are being played today with other SEC foes taking our spot. That’s okay, though, because there will be hell to pay in 2026 with Stein Time coming to Lexington. They’ll be feeding the studs to six-plus wins next go-round.
Until then, the fun non-CFP bowl games really ramp up starting today with the Pinstripe, Pop-Tarts, Gator and Texas Bowls headlining the group on Saturday. From there, things ramp back up on Tuesday with the Music City and Alamo Bowls, followed by the really good stuff on Wednesday and Thursday with the ReliaQuest, Citrus and Cotton Bowl (CFP QF) on New Year’s Eve and Orange, Rose and Sugar Bowls (CFP QFs) on New Year’s Day, respectively.
