Why this is the preseason TransPerfect Music City Bowl Projection
It's Big Ten vs SEC, and a slew of teams and options from both conferences will be in the College Football Playoff.
Kentucky was here two seasons ago - it didn't show up in a 21-0 loss to Iowa - but it's still a decent fit here considering it might struggle to get past seven wins.
With its schedule, Wisconsin will have an even bigger problem coming up with a big year. Nebraska, Michigan State, and Minnesota could be in the mix.
