Every Wednesday I put out a four-deep of the available games from the early kickoff to whatever the west coast has after dark. The order is based on a combination of strength of teams playing, the matchup, and personal preference. Yes, that last one means Nebraska carries a lot of weight, but not all of it.

A step down from last week's group of massive matchups but still some good ones on tap, including a trio of games involving ranked teams on both sidelines.

Nebraska returns to the four-deep by hosting No. 2 Michigan in the midafternoon slot, but that sits behind Kansas-Texas and Georgia-Auburn.
