Get ready for a Jax State (FCS) upset today in Lexington (can you believe the game is on ESPNU?):
The most spirited "competition" in college football this season might be between those ancient gridiron antagonists — the state of New Mexico and the commonwealth of Kentucky — over which state with multiple FBS programs is producing the worst caliber of football.
Here in Kentucky, we might have to fumigate the entire commonwealth if the level of football doesn't pick up dramatically over the second half of the season.
The University of Kentucky is 2-4 and has not yet beaten a team from a BCS automatic-qualifying conference.
The University of Louisville is 2-4 and has not yet beaten a team from outside Kentucky.
Western Kentucky University is 2-4 and has not yet beaten a team worth a darn. The Hilltoppers have won their last two but against foes (Middle Tennessee and Florida Atlantic) who are a combined 1-10.
How bad is our football in Kentucky?
Out of the 120 major-college football programs that comprise the Football Bowl Subdivision, when it comes to scoring points, our three entrants rank No. 106 (WKU, 18.5 points), No. 111 (U of L, 16.33) and No. 118 (UK, 13.0) in the nation.
In this week's Sagarin Ratings, Louisville is ranked No. 98, with UK at No. 112 and WKU at 157.
To put that in perspective, there are 10 teams from the FCS (the former I-AA) ranked higher than any of our state's three FBS schools.
It gets worse. ...

At the end we find out that NMSU has beaten Minnesota which gives Kentucky the edge.
