Kentucky is a 1-seed in latest ESPN Bracketology

The start of the season for the Kentucky Wildcats has been a great one. With a 10-1 record and wins over Duke, Gonzaga, and Louisville, Mark Pope’s team has one of the best resumes in the sport to this point.

That is starting to show in the early bracketology as the Cats are getting some love.

In his latest update Joe Lunardi of ESPN bumped Kentucky up to the 1-seed line as they are joined by two other SEC teams in Tennessee and Auburn. The Tigers are Lunardi’s No. 1 overall seed. Even more wild, he has 13 teams from the SEC making the big dance.

The path would be a fun one, as the Wildcats’ bracket would feature a potential rematch with Gonzaga (2-seed).

Don’t like that? How about a date with the 3-seed Kansas?

Maybe the biggest storyline of them all would come from a potential Round-of-32 matchup with 9-seed Arkansas. That would drive up ratings for sure.

With an already impressive resume, the Wildcats have the chance to add some more key wins, while the opportunities for bad losses are few and far between.

It should be a fun few months of conference play.

Go Cats!
