Kentucky takes the biggest leap in this week’s bowl projections, going from bottom-tier SEC tie-in to the league’s top bowl after New Year’s Six invites are handed out. The Wildcats (4-0) have risen from unranked to No. 17 after Saturday’s dominant win over Mississippi State, a team we previously slotted to the Sugar Bowl. We’re all in for a possible Benny Snell vs. Michigan defensive line matchup as the Wildcats and Wolverines would be amped for a battle of wills up front. Not to discredit Michigan’s mini-win streak, the Wolverines could win up in the New Year’s Six if they keep up stellar play defensively.
