Kentucky football receives no votes in 2026 US LBM Coaches Poll

The 2026 US LBM Coaches Poll, released August 4, shows Kentucky football with no votes, missing out on the Top 25 entirely. This comes after a season in which the Wildcats finished 5-7 and 4-8, impacting their preseason perception. The absence of support mirrors the team's recent struggles, including a 41-0 loss to Louisville that concluded the Mark Stoops era. Despite the polls, new head coach Will Stein aims to revitalize the program, with the Wildcats' first game against Youngstown State scheduled for September 5.Upcoming SEC matchups against Alabama and Texas A&M will further test the team's mettle early in the season.
