20. Georgia Bulldogs and the Tennessee Volunteers

Not only did these two football teams give us a great game to watch back in October, they beat the Kentucky football team two weeks in-a-row. Somehow in the completely terrible SEC East, the Wildcats were alive for a chance to go to the SEC Championship game.

With Louisville already not heading to their ACC Championship game, we would have never heard the end of it if UK somehow made it to theirs. However, Georgia kicked a field goal to beat Kentucky and Tennessee just ran all over them.

It has been amazing how fast basketball season has come for UK fans after losing their last two games, but that’s likely to change when they become bowl-eligible for the first time in forever.

Oh well, at least they aren’t going to the SEC Championship. To that we say thank you Georgia and Tennessee.
