Bill Connelly writes that Week 4 of college football is shaping up to be even bigger than expected, with six ranked-vs.-ranked matchups compared to just five in the first three weeks. The SEC kicks off its conference play with seven games, including four ranked-vs.-ranked clashes: Texas-Tennessee, A&M-LSU, Ole Miss-Florida, and Missouri-Mississippi State.

Top-ranked Texas travels to No. 14 Tennessee, where the Volunteers have dominated weak opponents and rank eighth in points per drive. Tennessee quarterback Faizon Brandon avoids pressure by throwing quickly, while Texas' defensive front features end Mariyon Dye. The Longhorns' running game averages 4.5 yards per carry.

No. 4 Ole Miss visits No. 21 Florida, while No. 2 Oregon faces No. 12 USC after an upset loss. Early-season standout Kamario Taylor and Mississippi State host Missouri, and No. 18 Michigan plays Iowa. In the Group of 6 race, Boise State visits Western Michigan, and Tulsa seeks a second power-conference win.
