You aren’t paying close enough attention to college football

I am speaking to the college football fans, who often come to me to talk about the game and the news of the world. If you don’t like football, this isn’t for you. If you are a college football fan, you definitely should have mentioned this to me.
Kentucky is actually good this year? I never thought I would see the day that anyone outside of Alabama, LSU, Florida or Georgia would ever have any kind of resurgence, but now the Wildcats are ranked 13th or 15th depending on the poll you choose, and are 5-0, including a win at Florida and at home against Mississippi State, who was ranked #14 at the time.
That means that Kentucky, the football version, are ranked higher than
Michigan (every team in Michigan)
Miami (both of them, if you’re counting)
Oregon (every team in Oregon)
Texas
Colorado (all of the Colorados)
Florida
North Carolina State(Every team in North Carolina)
Oklahoma State
And those are just the few that I notice, because they (or a team similar to them) are ranked.
Looking ahead, the Wildcats will probably finish about 10-2 and end up playing on New Years Day. Teams that have a surge like that always seem to get paired with other up and comers, rather than getting the challenge they desire, so I’m calling it right now: Kentucky is playing Central Florida in a bowl game this year. By the  way, why didn’t anyone tell me that UCF was good again this year?
