Tarmacked	16	Give them credit, they played a strong game after collapsing in the second half against Alabama. While they were bottled up against Bama, they somehow carved up Elko and his A&M group which isn't an easy feat. I like the stock (Stein)!

Justanother_0	21	Huge win over A&M gives me the confirmation that I needed that this team is probably gonna be the Wildcats’ first step out of the gutter that they’ve found themselves in lately.

T-Thugs	21	Kentucky makes a surprising appearance for a 1 loss team, but they've only got a loss to Alabama and now have a really nice win over Texas A&M (2-1, beat Arizona State)

ColombianInIowa24	25	Notable Omissions: #35 Georgia (I have no clue why their RNG is so bad besides terrible opponents), #36 Ohio State (loss overly punishes them in few games, with last week rankings fall being hard to overcome over winning teams), #38 Tennessee (I have no SEC bias), #34 Utah, #44 Louisville (see Ohio State), #29 Michigan (see Week 1 game), #(really low) SMU (lost to a team with a loss, basically a death sentence at this point), #28 Iowa (bad RNG), #26 LSU (bad RNG), #31 Miami (FL) (really bad RNG and opponents wtf). Texas A&M is not notable.

d1sportsball	20	Kentucky showed promise the first half against Bama, before falling apart. But against Texas A&M, the Wildcats were in full control, taking Kyle Field by storm to advance to 2-1. Its not pretty, but we'll see if Will Stein can continue Kentucky's momentum.

_THE__BOULDER_	23	Great rebound after that thrashing that was handed to them by Alabama. Kentucky handled this game and were, without a doubt, the better team out there. Make the jokes you want about Kyle Field and the 12th Man, but College Station is a hard place to play, and Kentucky were in control the whole time. TAMU scored 14 points in the 4th quarter to make it look reasonably close, but were down 28-7 at the end of the 3rd. Both teams had over 400 yards of offense, but Kentucky made the most of it. Kenny Michey was good out there, 14/18 for 252 yards, 2 TDs, no INTs. Compare that to the fact that Marcel Reed threw for almost 50 passes this game while attempting to make up the deficit, but completed 26 passes for 236 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT, and 4.8 YPC. He did also have a rushing TD and 80 yards on the ground, averaging 8 YPC, so there's that. But, all that to say, Kentucky was physically dominant and stopped that offense. Kentucky didn't steal this one, they straight up won. Say what you want about TAMU being overrated, cuz they were, but credit to what Will Stein is building in Lexington. Elko even said that there was nothing positive about that game. That was impressive.
