nw____	17	Mark Stoops will do what he has been doing: Kentucky will be a very solid team and an opponent no one overlooks. If Levis is half as good as some folks are saying, they should be competing with UGA for the SEC East (though I definitely think UGA takes it this year). Admittedly, though, I am not quite as high on Levis (especially without Wan'Dale Robinson) and see this team winning around 9-10 games on the backs of an even better defense.

owl_man	21	Mark Stoops should be up for every coach position in college football. I'm surprised USC or LSU didn't go to him first. But I'll say this for Kentucky, they've got a great one there. I wouldn't be surprised if Kentucky wins the SEC in the next year or two.

bretticus33	23	Kentucky is still a basketball school, but the Wildcats have been trying to change that the last few seasons. QB Will Levis is getting NFL attention and RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. is back to lead the offense. Kentucky is the closest competition to Georgia in the SEC East.

dusklord1	14	Mark Stoops has turned Kentucky into the second best program in the SEC East. However, #2 in the east and a 10-2 or 9-3 record is probably their ceiling. They don't have the talent to beat Georgia, and they're not far enough ahead of the rest of the east for me to confidently say they will go unbeaten.

mcguffinman	14	Mark Stoops is the second best coach in Kentucky Football history, second only to Bear Bryant himself. Mark Stoops has also made it clear that they are not just a basketball school now and damn does he play like it. However, with their star RB out for several weeks due to a DUI, will Will Levis and co be enough until reinforcements arrive? I believe so.

donald_flap	15	Kentucky has improved very greatly over the last two years, and I see that pattern only moving forward for the Wildcats. A good QB and coach, with a solid defense will surely solidify them as a SEC threat.
