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.

Falcons Suddenly Have A Backfield Depth Problem They Created
The Falcons running back room took an unexpected hit this week when the Cowboys signed Tyler Goodson off Atlantas practice squad and onto their active 53-man roster after losing Malik Davis to injury. Goodson had been waived by Atlanta after a strong preseason, a move that left the team thin behind its top backs and opened the door for another club to swoop in.
Now Atlanta is left with rookie Cash Jones as its only running back on the practice squad, and the front office may need to move quickly to restore some depth. Goodson had been in position to compete for a role behind Javonte Williams and Emari Demercado in Dallas, but the more immediate concern for the Falcons is the self-inflicted vacancy they now have to patch before it becomes a bigger issue.

Kyle Pitts Is Already Putting Falcons Quarterback Problem Under Pressure
Kyle Pitts new deal made it clear the Falcons still view him as one of the central pieces of the offense, but the season opener offered a reminder that his production is still tied closely to who is throwing him the ball. In the loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pitts was targeted only once and did not record a reception while Cooper Rush handled the start at quarterback, a quiet night for a player Atlanta is counting on much more heavily.
The larger issue for the Falcons is less about Pitts himself than the uncertainty around the quarterback room. Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa are both dealing with injuries and are expected back soon, and Pitts early line only underscores how much the offense needs stability under center. Until that settles, the Falcons may keep feeling the strain of trying to make a top weapon work through an unsettled passing game. [Read more 🡒]
Titans Already Face An Early Cam Ward Concern
The first week of the 2026 NFL season did not exactly settle much for the teams still circling the quarterback conversation, and Atlanta is among the ones still feeling the ripple effects. The Falcons entered the year with an uncertain setup under center, as Cooper Rush and Michael Penix Jr. both sit inside a broader picture that leaves the position looking anything but finalized.
That matters because the early struggles around the league can quickly push teams toward bigger decisions, and the 2027 draft is already part of that conversation for several quarterback-needy clubs. Atlanta is in that mix with a group that also includes Cleveland, Miami and Tennessee, where Cam Ward is one name to watch if the Titans decide their current path needs another turn, though nothing in this stage makes any of those outcomes certain.
