Week 4 of the college football season should serve as the calm before the storm the following Saturday, when several top-25 teams face off.
This week, only two ranked games take place, both at neutral sites: No. 12 Notre Dame and No. 18 Wisconsin will get the "College GameDay" treatment at Soldier Field in Chicago in a game that has significant College Playoff implications for both teams. And look for Jack Coan to reunite with the Badgers, with whom he played for three seasons.
Elsewhere, No. 7 Texas A&M and No. 16 Arkansas face off in a battle of unbeaten SEC teams in AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Sam Pittman has his Razorbacks team playing exceptionally well, and Jimbo Fisher's team is still adjusting to quarterback Zach Calzada, who helped lead the Aggies to a 34-0 win over New Mexico a week after Haynes King was lost to injury.

Beyond that, not much is going on Saturday (barring an unforeseen upset, of course; and with 19 losses by AP Top 25 teams already this season, don't discount it).
Regardless, that sets up a Week 5 slate that includes No. 19 Michigan at No. 18 Wisconsin, No. 16 Arkansas at No. 2 Georgia, No. 8 Cincinnati at No. 12 Notre Dame, No. 13 Ole Miss at No. 1 Alabama and No. 4 Oklahoma at No. 25 Kansas State.
But that's all a week away — best take a deep breath while you can. In the meantime, Sporting News has you covered on how to watch the Week 4 top-25 slate:
