SB Nation’s Week 4 preview highlights five non-Big Ten games: Clemson at Cal, No. 1 Texas at No. 14 Tennessee, No. 4 Ole Miss at No. 21 Florida, No. 23 Texas A&M at No. 10 LSU, and No. 19 Missouri at No. 24 Mississippi State.
Clemson-Cal is listed for Friday at 10:30 p.m. on ESPN; Texas-Tennessee at noon on ABC; Ole Miss-Florida at 3:30 p.m. on ABC; Texas A&M-LSU at 7:30 p.m. on ABC; and Missouri-Mississippi State at 7:45 p.m. on SECN. The preview predicts Clemson to win 23-20, Tennessee 28-27, Ole Miss 31-27, LSU 31-23 and Mississippi State 35-31.
Big Ten games were excluded because SB Nation covers them in a separate weekly preview. The article says Texas still has questions about its run game, Arch Manning’s consistency and its road performance, while Tennessee is off to a hot start but faces its first true test. It says one of LSU or Texas A&M will take a second straight loss, likely leaving an undefeated finish necessary to preserve playoff hopes. The preview also notes Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy may be unavailable and highlights Mississippi State’s 3-0 start and quarterback Kamario Taylor.
