\u201cKentucky has won a national championship. What a feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n
A new reality under Will Stein? Well, at least a virtual reality. <\/p>\n
College Football 27<\/a> officially launches on July 9 \u2014 early access on July 6 or even July 2 for MVP+ subscribers \u2014 so we\u2019re in the ballpark for video gamers to compete for SEC titles and CFP spots with Stein\u2019s Studs in the coming days. A few lucky folks have gotten their hands on a copy even sooner, though, including one popular streamer who happens to be a diehard Kentucky fan.<\/p>\n Bordeaux, who currently has 564K subscribers on YouTube, is fortunately one of us and chose the Wildcats in his first rebuild for College Football 27. Taking over in Stein\u2019s first season, he set the clock for five years with a goal of winning a championship in Lexington before 2031. <\/p>\n There, you get a behind-the-scenes look at UK\u2019s first roster in 2026 and what\u2019s to follow with portal and high school recruiting in the NIL world. Is a bowl back on the table in year one? Can the Cats actually compete at the national level in this new era? Will the five-stars start flocking to Lexington? Bordeaux goes through it all while rocking a UK OVO letterman jacket \u2014 the perfect touch.<\/p>\n Among the fun highlights:<\/p>\n Will Stein\u2019s initial AD expectations are to win a bowl game, beat Louisville and allow fewer than 24 PPG<\/p>\n The UofL game decides UK\u2019s postseason fate in year one<\/p>\n Butch Jones takes the OC job<\/p>\n Kenny Minchey enters the portal after the first season \u2014 but Stein replaces him with the most accurate QB in the country<\/p>\n Kentucky goes one-and-done in the CFP in 2028<\/p>\n See the rest for yourself \u2014 and make sure you stay for the absolutely electric finish for the Cats.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Want to know more about the Wildcats being in the game?
