  "account": "LEXINGTON — After a 3-1 start this season under new coach Will Stein, Kentucky football has returned to the polls, marking its first appearance in nearly three years. The last time the Wildcats were ranked was in Week 7 of the 2023 season, following a loss to Missouri. However, victories over Youngstown State, Texas A&M, and South Alabama have propelled Stein's team into the top 25. The Wildcats currently sit at No. 24 in the AP Top 25, while they remain unranked in the US LBM Football Coaches Poll, earning the 27th-most points. Kentucky is set to resume SEC play this week, facing South Carolina on Saturday, October 3, at 4:15 p.m. at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina.",
