Key Points

There are six ranked-vs.-ranked games in Week 4 of the college football season. That's more than we had in the first three weeks combined. A quartet of ranked SEC games could vault some teams into contention or, in the case of Texas A&M-LSU, seriously ding their credentials before the first month ends.

There are six ranked-vs.-ranked games in Week 4 of the college football season. That's more than we had in the first three weeks combined. A quartet of ranked SEC games could vault some teams into contention or, in the case of Texas A&M-LSU, seriously ding their credentials before the first month ends. The Big Ten's big Saturday started with a thriller in Ann Arbor where Iowa beat Michigan on the final play of the game. Hank Brown connected with Reece Vander Zee for the winning touchdown pass. Saturday night features the renewal of the Oregon-USC rivalry and both teams are scoring more than 40 points per game. The Ducks have won four straight in this rivalry. We're tracking all the action around college football.
