Kentucky embarks on a pivotal Week 13 journey to Nashville, where they will face No. 14 Vanderbilt. The Wildcats are not only vying for bowl eligibility with a victory in the Music City but also aim to thwart the Commodores' aspirations for a spot in the college football playoff.

Vanderbilt Football has captivated the Music City. Nashville has embraced Diego Pavia and the plucky Commodores. The SEC cellar dwellers are now CFP contenders. A year ago, Nick Saban served up an unforgettable helping of bulletin board material.

Led by Diego Pavia, Vandy is a dangerous team and is on the cusp of a potential college football playoff berth. Can the Cats pull off the massive upset in Nashville? If they do it, they will be winning very shorthanded, especially on defense.

It was the home loss to Vanderbilt in 2022 — one day after Kentucky signed Stoops to a contract extension — that began the downward spiral in results for the Wildcats. Two years later, Vanderbilt defeated Kentucky again in Lexington, sending a message that the perennial SEC cellar dwellers had flipped spots in the league’s pecking order again.

Next up for the Wildcats is a trip to Nashville to face off against No. 14 Vanderbilt, who is fighting to keep its College Football Playoff hopes alive. The Wildcats are a -9.5-point underdog ahead of Saturday's 3:30 p.m. kickoff in Nashville.
