USA TODAY Sports unanimously picks Florida over South Carolina in Week 6
USA TODAY Sports' college football staff unanimously picks the Florida Gators to win their homecoming game against the South Carolina Gamecocks.
The Kentucky football team prepares for a significant matchup against the LSU Tigers this week. The LSU Tigers are a strong contender and one of the top teams in the SEC. Hence, most experts, including USA TODAY Sports analysts, are predicting LSU to emerge victorious over Kentucky. This prediction is widespread across the sports community.
Even some notable observers, like the AP top 25 voters, have expressed doubt in the Wildcats' chances, despite their recent victory over South Carolina. Kentucky's chances of securing a win are considered significant, given their storied history. The Bluegrass Miracle, a term used to describe their strong performances against formidable opponents, is fondly remembered in Lexington.
However, the LSU Tigers have a history of pulling off remarkable upsets. One such instance occurred in 2007 when the Tigers, despite being the No. 1 team in the country, managed to upset the Wildcats. In 2026, the Wildcats are accustomed to playing as underdogs. Both teams they've faced this season have been favored to win. As such, Big Blue Nation is hopeful that the outcome of this upcoming game will mirror their previous two victories.
