The 22^nd-ranked Florida Gators will head to Kroger Field in Lexington, Kentucky to face the undefeated Kentucky Wildcats this week! 

After losing in week 1 on the road against the Utah Utes, the Florida Gators have won their last three matchups in a row while the Kentucky Wildcats are one of only two teams undefeated in the SEC, however, this will be the start of their difficult part of their schedule as they will play Florida, Georgia, Missouri, and Tennessee in their next four games. Will Florida extend their winning streak to four games when they travel to take on the Kentucky Wildcats in week 5 of the college football season or will the Wildcats remain undefeated? Let’s take a closer look at how these teams are faring this season.
