The college football season rolls on into Week 4. Now, with the calendar officially turning to Fall, there are even more conference games around the country to worry about as the true contenders stand up.
Of course, there are some massive matchups that come with that. The Texas Longhorns are traveling to Knoxville to take on the Tennessee Volunteers. The USC Trojans and Oregon Ducks both want to prove they’re legitimate. Then, the Texas A&M Aggies and LSU Tigers both need to avoid a devastating second loss in a row.
Here’s a look at those games, as well as the rest of the Week 4 slate around college football. All times are in Eastern Standard Time. Networks are also subject to change.
