These three teams may not be getting the attention they deserve but being undefeated at this point of the season is impressive.

Kentucky in football, not basketball, is 4-0 in the SEC with wins over teams like Florida and LSU. Wake Forest, after losing Heisman Trophy contending running Kenneth Walker III, is 4-0 in the ACC and in first place. Cincinnati is ranked No. 3 in the AP poll with a win on the road against Notre Dame.

Time will tell if all three teams remain undefeated after this weekend but if they do, they should get more mentions for the possibility of playing in the College Football Playoff.

Week 7 prediction: Georgia 41, Kentucky 21
