The SEC’s Week 4 schedule is now set, and the league’s biggest matchups are stacked across the afternoon and primetime windows.
The headliner in terms of television placement is Texas A&M at LSU, which lands in ABC’s 7:30 p.m. slot in Baton Rouge. Texas at Tennessee gets the noon ABC window, while Ole Miss at Florida and Oklahoma at Georgia are both set for 3:30 p.m. ET and will have their TV designations announced next week.
There’s no shortage of heavyweight games in the league that Saturday. Texas and Tennessee are both in the mix as CFP hopefuls, and so are Ole Miss, Florida, Oklahoma, Georgia, Texas A&M and LSU. The full slate stretches from an early kickoff to a late-night finish.
Here’s how Week 4 looks:
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+
The primetime ABC slot for Texas A&M-LSU also puts that game in the conversation for College GameDay in Week 4. Still, Baton Rouge has already hosted the show once this season, and GameDay will be in Oxford in Week 3 for LSU’s trip to Ole Miss.
Texas-Tennessee is another possible landing spot for the show. And if GameDay looks outside the SEC, Boise State at Western Michigan could enter the mix as well. The Broncos are a leading CFP candidate from the Group-of-6, and WMU was at the center of the season’s biggest storyline so far with its controversial Week 1 loss to Michigan.

Vanderbilt Just Added A 2027 Lineman With An Unusual Backstory
Vanderbilt continued to build out its future defensive front with the commitment of 2027 lineman Augustine Irek, a prospect whose path to college football has been anything but ordinary. He pledged shortly after picking up an offer from the Commodores, joining a recruiting picture that already included interest from several other programs.
Ireks background gives the addition a little extra intrigue. Originally from Nigeria, he sharpened his game at the NFL Academy, the international development program designed to expand American football around the world, and Vanderbilt is now betting on that growth curve as it adds another long-term piece to its defensive line pipeline.

Jared Curtis Faces Vanderbilts First Real Test Under Serious Pressure
Jared Curtis is about to get his first real introduction to what life looks like in a power conference game. Vanderbilts matchup with NC State brings the first major test of the quarterbacks first start, and it comes with the kind of defensive pressure head coach Clark Lea expects from a veteran opponent. For a Commodores offense still trying to settle in, the assignment is less about showing off and more about staying steady enough to give Curtis a manageable path through the evening.
Lea said the staff wants to keep things simple and lean on offensive consistency, with the run game carrying some of the load alongside Curtis. The priority is clean execution and better drive finishing, whether that means points or at least leaving the field with a punt instead of a missed opportunity. For Vanderbilt, the game is as much about protecting a young quarterback as it is about seeing whether the offense can hold up when the margin for error gets thinner. [Read more 🡒]
