College Football Week 4 Opens With Texas-Tennessee at 11:00 as Alabama-South Carolina Follows at 6:00

Q: With key injuries and emotional letdowns looming, which heavily favored SEC powerhouse is most likely to suffer a devastating upset today?

Ole Miss looks like the SEC heavyweight most vulnerable to a damaging upset today. The case is stronger there than with Georgia or Alabama because the warning signs stack up at once: the Rebels are coming off an emotional win over LSU, they have to turn around and play on the road in a sold-out Swamp, and star running back Kewan Lacy is either doubtful or a true game-time decision with a shoulder issue. If Lacy is limited, even more falls on quarterback Trinidad Chambliss against a Florida team that has started fast under Jon Sumrall and already owns a notable recent pattern of knocking off top-10 visitors in Gainesville. That makes Ole Miss different from Georgia, which is a big favorite over an Oklahoma team struggling badly on offense, and from Alabama, which has looked uneven but is still at home against a South Carolina team that has repeatedly failed to finish close games against the Tide. Texas is also in some danger at Tennessee because of Arch Manning’s uneven road history and the Neyland atmosphere, but that is not an SEC powerhouse-on-SEC-underdog spot in the same way as Ole Miss-Florida. The upset would be “devastating” because Ole Miss is unbeaten, highly ranked, and trying to build playoff positioning before its bye week. Multiple previews and analysts specifically flagged emotional letdown, the hostile venue, and injury uncertainty as reasons Florida could win. Among the heavily favored SEC powers on this slate, Ole Miss has the clearest trap-game profile.
