  • The final weekend of September features several key matchups between top-25 college football teams.
  • Major games in the SEC include No. 1 Texas at No. 13 Tennessee and No. 6 Mississippi at No. 22 Florida.
  • The Big Ten conference will see No. 18 Michigan host No. 17 Iowa and No. 16 Oregon visit No. 12 Southern California.

September’s final weekend features the season’s first fully loaded menu of Top 25 showdowns for our prolific panel of prognosticators to ponder. As one might surmise given that two conferences hold most of the positions in the US LBM Coaches Poll, the SEC and the Big Ten will be the primary focus.

The SEC slate features top-ranked Texas facing its first major league road test at No. 13 Tennessee, and No. 6 Mississippi also travels to meet No. 22 Florida. Elsewhere in the conference, No. 2 Georgia hosts No. 24 Oklahoma and No. 11 LSU welcomes No. 20 Texas A&M to Baton Rouge.

In Big Ten action, No. 18 Michigan hosts No. 17 Iowa in the league’s traditional geographic footprint, while out west No. 16 Oregon heads to the Coliseum to meet No. 12 Southern California.

Read on to see how our staff experts think those games will go, and if they foresee any other upsets on the Week 4 schedule.
