"Welcome to Week 4. While it's a light week for top 25 teams, the ranked matchups could tell us a lot. Texas Tech and Utah open their Big 12 schedules and are meeting for the first time since 1973. Texas Tech has yet to play a Power 4 opponent and Utah will finally face a team that can score after allowing 25 total points in wins over UCLA, Cal Poly and Wyoming. The winner could have the inside track at the Big 12 title."
"In Norman, Auburn quarterback Jackson Arnold returns to face his old team, Oklahoma. OU scored 17 fourth-quarter points to win a wild 27-21 game last season. OU QB John Mateer has had a rushing and passing touchdown in nine straight games. The Illinois- Indiana matchup is the only other ranked matchup of the day. This is only the second meeting between these two when both were ranked."
