Top 5 Must-Watch College Football Games of Week 4 Schedule

College football is in full swing and with conference play starting, each game matters just a little bit more. Each week, we have seen some great performances and some upsets that many didn’t see coming.

It’s what has made college football such a fun sport over the years and has kept it going strong. As we enter into Week 4, we have some crucial matchups coming down the pipeline.

But which ones are the most “must-watch”? Luckily for you, here at Newsweek Sports, we got you covered.

Here are the five biggest “must-watch” games on the docket for this weekend.

5. University of Louisiana-Monroe @ No. 1 Texas

While this game may not be the most exciting, Arch Manning is scheduled to make his first start for the Longhorns. That alone makes this game a must-watch on the schedule to see how he can perform.

Texas is heavily favored in this matchup and Manning has looked the part when playing. But until he starts out a game with all the pressure on him, we won’t know how it will look. The Longhorns should win this matchup, especially with them knowing that SEC play starts the following week.

4. Cal @ Florida State

The curious case of when Florida State will win a game has started as the Seminoles enter this game with a record of 0-3. Nobody expected them to be this bad but alas, here we are.

They host the Golden Bears this weekend, who have surprised people by going 3-0 to start the year. If Florida State is to grab its first victory, quarterback DJ Uiagalelei will have to be much better. This game could be one of the Seminoles’ last chances to get a win before the tougher games on their schedule kick in.

3. No. 6 Tennesee @ No. 15 Oklahoma

This will mark the first SEC game for the Sooners as they get a tough test in the Volunteers. Oklahoma will try to make a statement with Tennesee coming to Norman but their work could be cut out for them.

The Volunteers have looked like one of the best teams across the entire country this season, averaging 62.7 points per contest. Quarterback Jackson Arnold will need to have himself a day to keep up with the Tennesee offense, otherwise, things may get away from Oklahoma fairly quickly in this game.

2. No. 12 Utah @ No. 14 Oklahoma State

This could end up being one of the better games this season, with both teams looking to make some noise in the Big 12. Utah gets a chance to go on the road to Stillwater and shut down the Cowboys early on in the year.

Oklahoma State loves to run the football and it could make life tough on the Utes. But both teams can score the football, scoring over 40 points per game on average. This could end up being a shootout which likely favors the Cowboys in the end.

1. No. 11 USC @ No. 18 Michigan

This game takes home the crown for the weekend schedule, giving fans a massive Big Ten showdown. The Trojans come in looking to stake their claim in the Big Ten as this will be their introduction to the new conference.

While Michigan hasn’t looked the same so far this year, playing at The Big House is never easy. The Wolverines made a change at the quarterback position for this contest, potentially giving them more firepower. Both sides will be looking to make a statement in what could be a defining moment for the conference this season.
