We’re officially one month into the 2017 NCAA football season, and week 4 brings us some pretty good match-ups between teams ranked in the top 25 versus undefeated teams just outside of the top 25. The Florida-Kentucky rivalry that’s usually settled on the basketball court will spill over onto the football field as the #20 ranked Gators visit Kentucky to take on the undefeated Wildcats. There’s also a great match-up at night between two teams with strong fan bases, particularly in Chicago, as the Michigan State Spartans visit South Bend to take on the Norte Dame Fighting Irish.
