Week 4 features several games you won’t want to miss. Here is the TV schedule and predictions for all of the Top 25 games.

Circle your calendars for 8 p.m. on Saturday night when Stanford travels to Oregon to take on the Ducks. This is, by far, the biggest game on the weekend. There are games with potential for intrigue elsewhere on the schedule, but the Pac-12 showdown is one of only two games pitting two Top 25 teams against one another this weekend.

The other will occur when Jimbo Fisher takes his Aggies into Tuscaloosa to take on Alabama. Johnny Manziel isn’t walking through the door for Texas A&M. They scared Clemson at home, but they’re no match for the Crimson Tide in their house.

If you’re looking for an under the radar matchup. Consider tuning in for Mississippi State at Kentucky. Florida already knows how dangerous a trip to Lexington can be. It’s possible Nick Fitzgerald and the Bulldogs could meet the same fate.

Without delay, here’s a full list of every Top 25 game this weekend. As always, our picks are highlighted in bold.
