The SEC has locked in the kickoff times and TV windows for its Week 4 slate, and the headliner list is exactly what you’d expect: Texas A&M at LSU under the lights, Texas at Tennessee in the noon showcase, and a pair of other top-tier matchups sitting in the afternoon window.
Texas A&M and LSU will take the primetime ABC slot at 7:30 p.m. ET in Baton Rouge.
Texas at Tennessee gets the 12 p.m. ET ABC window, putting it opposite the Big Ten’s best game of the week on FOX.
Ole Miss at Florida and Oklahoma at Georgia will both kick at 3:30 p.m. ET, with their TV assignments to be announced next week.
Here’s the full Week 4 schedule the conference released:
Texas at Tennessee - 12 p.m. ET - ABC
South Alabama at Kentucky - 12:45 p.m. ET - SEC Network
Ole Miss at Florida - 3:30 p.m. ET - ABC or ESPN
Oklahoma at Georgia - 3:30 p.m. ET - ABC or ESPN
Vanderbilt at Auburn - 4:15 p.m. ET - SEC Network
South Carolina at Alabama - 7 p.m. ET - ESPN
Texas A&M at LSU - 7:30 p.m. ET - ABC
Missouri at Mississippi State - 7:45 p.m. ET - SEC Network
Tulsa at Arkansas - 8 p.m. ET - SEC Network+
That ABC primetime slot for Texas A&M-LSU also makes the game a natural candidate to host College GameDay in Week 4. Baton Rouge has already gotten the show once this season, though, and GameDay will be in Oxford in Week 3 when LSU visits Ole Miss.
Texas-Tennessee could also be in the mix for the show’s next stop. If GameDay goes outside the SEC, Boise State at Western Michigan stands out as a possible option. The Broncos are a serious CFP contender from the Group of 6, and Western Michigan was at the center of one of the season’s biggest storylines after its controversial loss to Michigan in Week 1.

Braves Are One Win Away But This Feels Far From Comfortable
The Braves head into their next game with a shot to lock up a playoff berth and inch closer to the division, but the mood around the club is more cautious than celebratory. JR Ritchies call-up from Triple-A gives Atlanta a chance to give Chris Sale a breather, and the matchup itself offers a few openings, including a familiar look at Shota Imanaga and a bullpen that has been running on a little more good fortune than substance.
Still, the recent dip in run production since September has made this feel like a night the Braves have to survive rather than simply win. Some of their hitters have handled Imanaga well in the past, and Atlanta may need every edge it can find if it wants to turn a near-clinch into something more secure while also keeping the bigger division picture in view.

Braves Pitching Shuffle Just Sent A Clear Stretch Run Message
The Braves are continuing to sort out their pitching picture as the postseason approaches, and Bailey Falter is the latest arm caught in the shuffle. Atlanta outrighted the left-hander to Triple-A Gwinnett after designating him for assignment, a procedural move that gives the club more flexibility while it tries to settle on the best mix for the final stretch.
Falter has more than three years of service time, so he could elect free agency, though he is expected to accept the assignment and remain in the organization. If he does, he may still get one more turn with Gwinnett before that season ends, while Atlanta keeps leaning on depth options as it lines up the rotation for the games that matter most.

Braves Fans Will Love What Mets Frustration Just Exposed
The Mets 2026 stumble has turned a lot of familiar noise into something louder, and not just inside Queens. With frustration building around the clubs ownership and front office, the reaction around Citi Field has started to reflect how thin the margin has become between patience and exasperation. Even a moment meant to celebrate the home side can quickly become a referendum on where things stand.
Pete Alonsos reception in a recent game against the Mets offered one of the clearest signs yet, with the former Mets slugger drawing cheers after a milestone home run. Sean Manaea said he was surprised by the fans support for an opposing player, a small admission that says plenty about the mood around the team. For Braves fans, it is the kind of messy Mets backdrop that can feel almost too on brand, and it only adds to the sense that the division picture is shifting in Atlantas favor. [Read more 🡒]
