NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Kentucky is likely headed to a bigger bowl game than last year.
The Wildcats are thinking bigger still.
Andre Woodson threw for 222 yards, Rafael Little had 70 yards rushing before being injured and Kentucky (No. 25 BCS, No. 24 AP) beat Vanderbilt 27-20 on Saturday to keep alive its slim hopes of a berth in the Southeastern Conference title game.
"This win puts us in the chase," running back Derrick Locke said. "We can still get to a really good bowl. We can still get to Atlanta."
Kentucky needs plenty of help if it wants to win play for the SEC title.
The Wildcats (7-3, 3-3 SEC) close their season against SEC East rivals Tennessee and Georgia, and have a chance to sneak into the league title game in Atlanta by defeating both. A South Carolina win over Florida later on Saturday would also be a big help.
"The real key for us whether we win next week or don't win next week, if we're going to have a chance, the ball coach is going to have to do something for us," Kentucky coach Rich Brooks said, referring to South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier. "We can end up tied for it, but it would be tough."
