8. Kentucky Wildcats (7-5, 3-5)
The narrative changes on the 2023 season if the Wildcats take out Clemson in the bowl considering that would be consecutive wins to close things out against two of the ACC’s best teams. The November loss to South Carolina was scarring, as were three straight losses to Georgia, Missouri and Tennessee for the Wildcats. However, Mark Stoops assured himself of another winning season at the program and if he’s able to hit on a quarterback in the transfer portal, perhaps the Wildcats can manage a similar win total in 2024.
