LEXINGTON - The 2021 college football season only finished last night, and the hype for the 2022 Kentucky football team is already starting to grow.
Just hours after Georgia took down Alabama to win the national championship, national outlets began releasing their "way too early" 2022 top 25 rankings, and Mark Stoops' Kentucky Wildcats are included in most of them.
A number of key transfer and NFL draft decisions remain in flux, adding uncertainty about what 2022 teams will look like, but it is easy to see why Kentucky is being mentioned a top 25 team.
