The fourth week of the 2017 college football season is here, and we preview and predict the the top games on the schedule.

Through three weeks of the college football season, there seems to be certain teams that are rising to the top, as we can separate the contenders from pretenders. As always, No. 1 Alabama reigns supreme, sitting at 3-0 and heading to Vanderbilt for a showdown.

Clemson moved into the No. 2 slot after taking down Lamar Jackson and Louisville on the road in a Saturday night classic. No. 3 Oklahoma held serve and will head to face a win-less Baylor team this weekend. Penn State and USC both won out and will take on tough, undefeated teams on the road.

Last weekend brought us some great games, with Sam Darnold and USC winning in 2OT over Texas and Clemson thrashing Louisville on the road behind Kelly Bryant. Tennessee and Florida also had a classic game, with the Gators winning on a hail mary in the final play of the game.

Looking ahead to this week, there are a lot of fantastic matchups lined up. Let’s take a look at the TV schedule for the Top 25 teams in the country, along with a preview and prediction of the five best games of the weekend.
