We’re heading into full swing in the college football season as conference play intensifies. Week 4 of the schedule for the Top 25 teams in the US LBM Coaches Poll includes three exciting matchups featuring teams stepping into new conferences.

The standout game sees No. 13 Oklahoma beginning its inaugural season in the SEC by hosting No. 7 Tennessee. Adding to the intrigue, Tennessee is led by Josh Heupel, a former Oklahoma quarterback and assistant coach, but how the fans in Norman react to him won’t influence the game itself.

In other significant games, No. 12 Southern California travels east for the first time as a Big Ten team to face No. 17 Michigan at their home field, and No. 10 Utah starts its Big 12 journey against No. 15 Oklahoma State. Our experts share their predictions on these matchups and all other games involving ranked teams.
