‘The only thing that matters is winning’: Will Stein on Kentucky football’s playoff hopes, ranking

Will you watch the playoff ranking show tonight, the first one that comes out? How do you balance ignoring some of that stuff but wanting to kind of obviously promote your case since those rankings actually matter? Yeah, I mean, the only thing that matters is winning, and so... And I'm sure I'm not going to watch the show, but I'll see what they have us at. But again, it has nothing to do with anything. As easily as you can get into those rankings, you can get out of them quickly too. So it's really just about our approach, our mindset, and going out and playing a really good team and ultimately working to get a win on the road again. We haven't talked about that. Not that we shy away from the reality of where we are in terms of our conference rank and our conference record. Thank If you don't handle your business this week, then nothing really matters. You know, and every game is important. Our first game of the year was important. The second game, we learned a lot against Alabama. We've learned a lot each and every step. And so I think if you really focus on the future, and I know it's cliche coach talk, you. but it's so true that you can't be great in the present. You really can't. So our guys put together a really good week last week, started off this week great. And so it's about going to play well on the road.
