The bowl they go to does not hinge on playing Akron or Illinois. It hinges on beating the conference teams. Like I said earlier, if UK beats Ole Miss, Miss. St. and Tenn., they are 9-3 and a good bowl. Also, what you don't understand is that teams like Illinois will want a home and home. It's all about the money. UK needs 7 home games a year, just like all SEC schools. Better coaching, better preparation, UK is 9-3 last season and a better bowl. And that includes playing Akron, Western, and Charleston Southern. All other big time schools have big time coaches with big time recruiting budgets. Therein lies the shortfall.

You still have not said better players. Better players would beat Ole Miss, Mss. St and UT. I've already outlined how to get those better players, because the players we have is NOT good enough to beat those three teams.
