Today, Friday Night Football takes place under the floodlights, as the college football schedule begins early with the games of the fourth week, with three matches involving the Power Four conferences beginning.
Last night, the Sun Belt officially began its fourth week of play after South Alabama defeated playoff contender Appalachian State in a dominant 48-14 road victory, with an 87-10 win. Now, several other College Football Playoff upstarts are looking to make their mark.
A realigned ACC conference duel begins: Kyle McCord and Syracuse host Stanford in the Dome, while Nebraska and Illinois look to stay ahead in a duel between the top-ranked Big Ten rivals.
Later in the evening, Washington State, fresh off a spectacular win over rival Washington, will host San Jose State, one of the Mountain West schools that did not receive an invitation as part of the Pac-12’s recent expansion project.
Here is the full schedule for the college football week that begins today.
