Kentucky football: 5 teams the Wildcats need to schedule in the future

What if teams actually started to schedule challenges in every game? What if the NCAA brought back regional rivalries? I’ve had what-if games play out in my mind for many, many years. Now, it’s time to bring those to reality. Here are 5 teams Kentucky should schedule in future seasons.
