Kentucky has been ranked in the CFP rankings before. They were ranked six weeks in 2018, climbing as high as ninth before finishing 14th. In 2021, they were ranked three weeks, being ranked as high as 18th before finishing 22nd. In 2022, they were ranked just once, in Week 11, sitting 24th.

Still, the knock on expanded playoffs is that teams with three or more losses would make the playoffs, diminishing the value of the regular season. In 2018, Kentucky lost three times in the regular season, all of them in SEC play, but just one to a ranked team. If there had been a 24-team playoff that year, Kentucky would have hosted a first-round game against Texas A&M. Kentucky had lost on the road to Texas A&M in overtime earlier that year.
