SEC Shakes Up Florida's Schedule

As pivotal SEC matchups are set for Week 4, find out which showdowns are grabbing primetime slots and sparking College GameDay debates.

The SEC’s Week 4 television slate is set, and the league loaded up the prime windows with plenty of heavyweight matchups.

The biggest spotlight falls on Texas A&M at LSU, which lands in ABC’s 7:30 p.m. ET primetime slot in Baton Rouge.

Texas at Tennessee will kick off at noon ET on ABC, giving that one an early national stage. Ole Miss at Florida and Oklahoma at Georgia were both placed in the 3:30 p.m.

ET window, with their TV designations to be announced next week.

Here’s the full Week 4 lineup:

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 Texas A&M-LSU matchup getting the marquee ABC night slot also makes it a natural contender for College GameDay in Week 4. The wrinkle there is that GameDay has already been to Baton Rouge once this season, and it will be in Oxford in Week 3 for the Tigers’ trip to face Ole Miss.

Texas at Tennessee is another possible GameDay destination. If the show opts to go outside the SEC, Boise State at Western Michigan is also in the mix, with the Broncos standing as a strong Group-of-6 CFP candidate and WMU already part of one of the season’s biggest storylines after its controversial Week 1 loss to Michigan.

Floridas 2026 Schedule Is Already Showing One Serious Warning Sign

Florida opened with two straight wins under Jon Sumrall, including a 52-3 rout of Campbell, but the early buzz around the Gators is already running into a bigger-picture concern. A glance at the 2026 schedule suggests there wont be many easy Saturdays waiting down the road, and the latest results from those opponents only sharpen that view.

Auburn beat Southern Miss, Missouri handled Kansas, South Carolina leaned on a dominant rushing attack against Towson, and Texas stunned Ohio State with a comeback win. Georgia looked sharp on both sides against Western Kentucky, Michigan pulled off an upset of Oklahoma, and Kentucky fell to Alabama, a snapshot that makes Floridas future slate look loaded with teams carrying real momentum.

Florida Walks Into A Familiar Auburn Test With More At Stake

Jon Sumrall and Alex Golesh know plenty about each other long before they meet on opposite sidelines in an SEC game, which gives Floridas trip to Auburn a little extra texture. Their coaching paths have crossed through the years, and the matchup brings back familiar names, familiar schemes and a fresh layer of stakes for a Florida staff trying to make its mark in league play.

Auburn also turns the page at quarterback, with Brown set to make his first SEC start after transferring from USF. Sumrall said Brown has shown clear improvement, and he knows the challenge does not stop there, especially with Auburns home-field edge waiting in the background. For Florida, it is the kind of conference test that can expose details quickly, and the kind of game where the familiar can still get uncomfortable in a hurry. [Read more 🡒]

Florida Heads To Auburn With One Roster-Building Bet Under Pressure

The trip to Auburn brings more than a conference road test for Florida, because it also puts the Gators roster-building approach next to one of the sports more aggressive transfer pipelines. Jon Sumrall brought only a handful of players with him from Tulane, leaving Florida with a roster shaped mostly by Power Four talent, while Auburn under Alex Golesh has leaned much more heavily on familiar faces from USF, including 13 former Bulls who have already carved out meaningful roles.

That contrast is part of what makes this matchup worth watching for Florida fans. Auburns offense features several players who came from non-Power Four programs, and Goleshs history against Power Four defenses has not always been easy reading, which leaves this game feeling like a stress test for both coaches ideas about how to build a team. For Florida, it is a chance to see whether a more traditional talent base holds up when the other side is built from a different kind of bet. [Read more 🡒]
