Week 4 of the 2024 college football season is off to a fast start and the schedule brings plenty of compelling action with three games featuring top-25 teams squaring off highlighting the weekend slate. Two games feature opponents that ranked inside the top-15 of the latest AP Top 25 poll, and several programs are set to make their official conference debuts as league play begins.
That includes No. 11 USC, which participates in its first Big Ten game with a trip to No. 18 Michigan on deck. The Wolverines have already lost one top-25 matchup at home this year, so there’s plenty of motivation to knock off a favored Trojans team and keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive.
No. 12 Utah enters its third conference of this century as it travels to No. 14 Oklahoma State for a Big 12 showdown. All eyes are on the status of Utes quarterback Cameron Rising, who missed his team’s Week 3 win with an injured finger on his throwing hand. Coach Kyle Whittingham said that the plan is for Rising to return, but it’s still a situation worth monitoring.
Then, No. 15 Oklahoma hosts No. 6 Tennessee in a game chock-full of storylines. Josh Heupel makes his return to Norman as Tennessee’s coach, while Oklahoma is playing its inaugural SEC game. The winner takes a key step towards College Football Playoff contention.
Be sure to stick with CBS Sports all day Saturday for college football coverage from the opening kickoff onward. Let’s take a look at our expert picks for the best games in Week 4.
