I've been listening to a lot of sports call-in shows lately and I've heard people calling in saying UK will beat Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama. While I think this is ridiculous I was wandering what you all thought about the Cats versus the SEC elites.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to call Tennessee one of the SEC's "elite" teams. They got upset by a mediocre UCLA team and have not been a powerhouse for many years now. UK has played them close frequently in recent years, and should have won each of the last two games.

I also think Alabama isn't really one of the SEC's "elite" teams right now either, although Saban has them on the fast-track back to the top of the league.

To me, the elite teams in the league right now are Florida, Georgia, and LSU. Auburn, Tennessee, and Alabama would be considered the second tier.

I don't see UK beating Georgia, and knocking off Alabama in Tuscaloosa seems unlikely. But UK should have a decent shot at beating Tennesse.
