Week 4 college football picks, previews, and schedule, including Florida vs. Tennessee, UCLA vs. Arizona, Oregon vs. Utah, and Mississippi State vs. Auburn.
Week 4’s college football schedule will feature a couple of marquee matchups in the great state of Texas, courtesy of the SEC and Big 12. Under the bright lights of AT&T Stadium in Arlington, No. 14 Texas A&M hosts a reeling Arkansas team, while No. 3 TCU travels to Lubbock in preparation for a shootout with the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
Midday Saturday action features another chapter of the heated Florida vs. Tennessee rivalry. The Vols are hoping to stop a 10-game winning streak by the Gators.
The Pac-12 will also provide some must-see action with three primetime games scheduled.
No. 9 UCLA will travel to Tucson to take on No. 16 Arizona. The Bruins took another blow to their roster, losing All-American LB Myles Jack, while the Wildcats hope to welcome back their All-American LB, Scooby Wright. UCLA dropped four of its last five to Zona on the road.
No. 13 Oregon hopes to have starting QB Vernon Adams back in the fold when they welcome No. 18 Utah to Eugene. Adams was given a week to rest his injured index finger, but the Ducks will need him in top shape if they hope to hand the Utes (3-0) their first loss of 2015. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:30 ET Saturday night.
No. 9 USC lost a tough one at home last week to Stanford, but the Trojans will have to rebound quickly as they travel to a tough environment in Tempe Saturday to play Arizona State at 10:30 p.m. ET. The Sun Devils hope to build off their win last year against the Trojans, when Jaelen Strong pulled down a miraculous Hail Mary to upset USC in Los Angeles.
