Kentucky joins Indiana in AP Top 10 as Louisville remains unranked
The Wildcats rose after a 34-17 win over Vanderbilt, and Kentucky is 7-1 with five straight SEC victories under first-year coach Will Stein.
On Sunday, the Kentucky Wildcats cracked the Associated Press Top 25 poll at No. 9, marking their first top-10 appearance since 2022 with a 7-1 record.
Head coach Will Stein led the team to a 34-17 victory over Vanderbilt Commodores on Saturday, becoming the first coach in 117 years to open his inaugural season 7-1.
Currently, the Wildcats hold sole possession of first place in the SEC with a 5-1 conference record, the best start since 1977, after winning five straight conference games.
ESPN statistics indicate the team now has over a 50% chance to make the College Football Playoff, reflecting their consistency through eight games this season.
