With the regular season nearly complete, the bowl projections are starting to roll in. Nothing is for sure at this point with championship games still to be played, but a lot of these projections will turn out to be accurate.
Every projection I’ve looked at has the Cats in the BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham, Ala., on Jan. 8 against a Big East team. Kentucky is not planned to announce its bowl selection until Sunday.
UK’s projections are below with links to the respective website’s full projections:
