Kentucky is apparently headed to the Peach Bowl.
"We are not at liberty to extend, nor is the University of Kentucky at liberty to accept an invitation to the Peach Bowl, yet," Robert Dale Morgan, the bowl's director, told the Lexington Herald-Leader on Monday. ""But we don't see anything that would change our mind as it relates to the University of Kentucky playing in the Peach Bowl.
"If Kentucky fans have any doubt about which bowl they will be going to, I hope that statement alleviates that doubt."
Morgan said Kentucky is the team the Peach Bowl wants and it would select Kentucky over LSU or Vanderbilt if all three qualify for the Dec. 31 game in Atlanta.
Kentucky will play Clemson, the third-place team in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The game is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. EST in the Georgia Dome and be televised by ESPN.
The Peach Bowl must wait until the end of the regular season to extend an official invitation.
