The Tigers have a bit of an edge in the statistical categories, but their bigger advantage is CJ Spiller, of course. If the Wildcats can keep him out of the end zone, they have a chance. Likelihood? Not very.

The Line: Kentucky +6.5

The Call: Clemson by 10

The Result: Clemson 21-13

Still, a decent season for Kentucky. They're never really going to compete in the SEC east, but a mid-range bowl keeps the program chugging along. The Tigers didn't live up to the hype this year, but it'd be hard not to call Swinney's first full year a success.
