College football’s Week 4 slate kicks off today with some big matchups across the country that could impact how the College Football Playoff plays out later today. As we look ahead to Saturday’s kickoffs, let’s nail down our final game picks with a little help from the guys over at ESPN’s College GameDay.

Kirk Herbstreit, Nick Saban, Lee Corso and the gang are on the ground in Norman, Oklahoma, to attend a game of historic significance. Oklahoma makes its debut as an SEC team in a big game under the lights against a dynamic opponent from Tennessee, who are considered the favorites.

Other notable matchups created by the conference realignment are also on today’s schedule: USC makes its Big Ten debut when it visits Michigan, and the new member of the Big 12 takes on Oklahoma State in a battle of conference contenders.

Clemson returns from a quiet week with its ACC season opener against NC State. The Wolfpack debut a new quarterback after Grayson McCall was injured, and Georgia Tech visits rival Louisville.

The time for talking is over and the games are about to begin. Let’s make our final picks for the biggest matchups with some help from the guys at ESPN’s College GameDay.
