Week 4 means pretty much everyone is playing in-conference. And headlining this week’s games are two west coast matchups with plenty of #Pac12AfterDark potential.

Last week featured a number of Top 25 teams falling. Will we see similar results this weekend? Here are the five games you need to watch in Week 4 of college football.
Nebraska (0-2) at No. 19 Michigan (2-1)
Date/Time: Saturday, September 22 at 12:00 p.m. ET
Location: Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan
TV: FS1
The marquee game of the noon slate, Nebraska-Michigan offers plenty of intrigue. How will new Huskers head coach Scott Frost fare in his first Big Ten game and first road game after a disappointing 0-2 start? Regardless of who plays QB for Nebraska, will he be able to escape trouble from Michigan D-linemen Rashan Gary and Chase Winovich? On the other side, how will Shea Patterson and the Michigan O-line handle a Nebraska defense that’s already racked up 10 sacks?
No. 22 Texas A&M (2-1) at No. 1 Alabama (3-0, 1-0)
Date/Time: Saturday, September 22 at 3:30 p.m. ET
Location: Bryant-Denny Stadium, Tuscaloosa, Alabama
TV: CBS
Last season’s Alabama-Texas A&M tussle was more than the Tide bargained for, as they escaped College Station with a narrow win after coming in as heavy favorites. It’s also the game that birthed Nick Saban’s infamous “rat poison” rant. A&M is a better, more experienced squad this time around so Bama won’t be fooled into complacency. The biggest treat in this game will be the quarterback battle between the Aggies’ Kellen Mond and the Tide’s Tua Tagovailoa.

Florida (2-1, 0-1) at Tennessee (2-1)
Date/Time: Saturday, September 22 at 7:00 p.m. ET
Location: Neyland Stadium, Knoxville, Tennessee
TV: ESPN
Two new SEC East coaches. Similar so-so early returns. Jeremy Pruitt’s first season at Tennessee is off to a 2-1 start with the loss coming at the hands of a much better West Virginia team. Florida’s Dan Mullen era is also at 2-1 with the headline being the Gators’ 31-year winning streak against Kentucky coming to an end. UF won this game last season on an improbable 63-yard Hail Mary. Even if this doesn’t end so dramatically, it should be a close contest between two evenly -matched, yet very flawed teams.
No. 7 Stanford (3-0, 1-0) at No. 20 Oregon (3-0)
Date/Time: Saturday, September 22 at 8:00 p.m. ET
Location: Autzen Stadium, Eugene, Oregon
TV: ABC
Stanford and Oregon each go into this week at 3-0 and ranked in the top 20. Stanford is loaded at the offensive skill positions with K.J. Costello able to air it out to J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, even if Heisman candidate Bryce Love can’t suit up. Oregon also has a potential Heisman candidate in quarterback Justin Herbert. Stanford will be Oregon’s first true test of the season and will go a long way to prove if first-year Ducks head coach Mario Cristobal can make this team a Pac-12 contender right away.
Arizona State (2-1) at No. 10 Washington (2-1, 1-0)
Date/Time: Saturday, September 22 at 10:30 p.m. ET
Location: Husky Stadium, Seattle, Washington
TV: ESPN
What better way to end a full day of football than with the matchup that basically torpedoed Washington’s shot at the playoff last season? After knocking off a then-Top-15 Michigan State a few weeks ago, Herm Edwards and Arizona State won’t surprise anyone in 2018. Like last year’s 13-7 defensive struggle, this year’s meeting is likely to be low-scoring; both the UW and ASU defenses rank top 30 in the country in yards per play and points allowed per game.
