Predicting Kentucky vs Texas A&M: Can the Wildcats triumph?

There is a particular kind of loneliness in being a very good football team nobody wants to discuss, and No. 9 Texas A&M has found it. Texas erased 20 points in a fourth quarter to knock off Ohio State and claim the No. 1 ranking. Lane Kiffin went back to Oxford wearing purple and gold, and the sport stopped to watch.

Somewhere underneath all of it, Mike Elko's team has been doing the plainer, less photogenic work of winning by a combined 78 points — 50-0 over Missouri State, 48-20 over Arizona State — and it has landed them at No. 9 in the AP poll and No. 8 in the Coaches poll anyway, mostly unremarked upon.
