Then there were 21. College football Week 4 helped obliterate a good chunk of undefeated teams with a mixture of surprises and the inevitability of all-undefeated clashes taking away multiple teams’ perfect starts to the season. Which teams remain unbeaten after another weekend of thrills, spills, and shocks that makes up a typical week in the nation’s greatest sport?
Following Week 4, there are 21 college football teams that remain undefeated. As the weeks wind on towards the national championship in January, that number will get steadily whittled down as undefeated teams face off against each other.
There are already several “all-undefeated” matchups to look forward to this coming week. Those include Clemson welcoming NC State to “Death Valley” in a game that could decide the destination of the ACC. Meanwhile, Kentucky at Ole Miss is a pivotal game in the SEC, and Washington and UCLA should help bring clarity to the Pac-12 title race.
Can any team match 2019 LSU, 2018 Clemson, or 2013 Florida State and win a title without tasting defeat in the entire season? These are the contenders following college football Week 4.
