We're already a full four weeks into the season. Seriously, where does the time go?
So far this Saturday, we got a big upset with NC State beating Clemson in double overtime, No. 12 Notre Dame took care of business against No. 18 Wisconsin with a 41-13 win in Soldier Field in Chicago and 16 Arkansas beat No. 7 Texas A&M in AT&T Stadium in Dallas. We're monitoring everything else going on, and there is no shortage of highlights and drama.

Many happy returns
You figured it would be a good day for Alabama's Jameson Williams when he returned the opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown. He finished with three kick returns for 177 yards and two TDs, plus one reception for 81 yards and another score.

Stephen A. Smith is a man of his word. He lost a bet to Tim Tebow -- he said Florida would lose by more than three touchdowns to Alabama last weekend, and he had to pay up.
Texas' Bijan Robinson dodges defenders and turns on the jets for the 38-yard touchdown.
And it's safe to say that the Gators loved this look on him.

Game Day antics
Kevin Kelly doesn't believe in punting, and, yes, you are reading those words correctly. It's an unorthodox way of playing, but a fascinating one nonetheless. Read more about the Presbyterian head coach here.

QB controversy in Norman?
Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler entered the season with Heisman aspirations. Midway through Week 4, Sooners fans are calling for his backup.
After a first half in which he threw for 73 yards, one touchdown and one interception, Oklahoma fans were chanting, "We want Caleb," referencing freshman Caleb Williams, who was the No. 16 prospect overall in the 2021 recruiting class.
Chants came midway through the second quarter after West Virginia cornerback Jackie Matthews picked off Rattler on a deflection.

Oklahoma trailed 10-7 at halftime, but Rattler came out in the second half and led Oklahoma on a 10-play, 64-yard drive that resulted in a field goal.
