I have to disagree with you Dusty. With the same schedule, if UK beats Ole Miss, Miss. State, and Tennessee, then they are 9-3 instead of 6-6. 9-3 gets you in a meaningful bowl with the same schedule. That would put the only three lossed being to Florida, Auburn, and Georgia. I bet that 9-3 with that schedule gets them a very good bowl. To step up, UK doesn't need to play more tough teams, just beat the SEC teams who are middle of the pack. That's why Alabama, Florida, and teams like that go to the good bowls, they beat the teams they have to.

I have disagree with you Shady. UK looked so unprepared for the speed that Ole Miss. had. Ole Miss's speed was not that great compared to other teams in the SEC. The throws that Hartline was completing against WKU, Akron, and UofL. were getting knocked down or intercepted because Ole Miss was quicker than the other opponents, Hartline and the receivers did not know how to adjust.
I am OK playing one cupcake. I believe if UK would have played someone tougher (not USC or Ohio St.) from a BCS conference, they would have been more prepared for the speed of the SEC in the first games. They also would have known how to react the first time UK faced adversity. Playing nothing but cupcakes gave them a false sense of security, IMO, and they thought they were better than what they were.
