2. Kentucky: The Wildcats have always been predicted to be in this spot. For the past 3-4 years it always seems that Kentucky is picked to finish 2nd in the east. They have not delivered on that promise…. yet. Well, it is the year of the cats. With Liam Coen coming back to take over play-calling duties, and the addition of Devin Leary, Kentucky could have a shot at winning 10 to 11 games this season. Kentucky also has one of the best wide-out groups in the SEC outside of Georgia. On defense, Kentucky is returning a bunch of seasoned guys. I like the Wildcats to surprise some people and finish second in the east and play in a New Year 6 bowl.
