College football’s fourth week produced major upsets and intensified pressure on several coaches. Texas survived Tennessee, Oregon revived its season by beating USC, while Georgia, Florida and Alabama delivered emphatic wins that exposed serious problems for Oklahoma, Ole Miss and South Carolina.

Texas won despite Arch Manning throwing no touchdown passes, with the defence recording more than 10 sacks. Oregon overcame Dante Moore’s first-half head injury as backup Dylan Raiola threw for over 280 yards in a 41-27 victory; Georgia beat Oklahoma 41-13, Florida defeated Ole Miss 52-28, Alabama routed South Carolina 49-18 and Mississippi State beat ranked Missouri behind Kamario Taylor’s 350-plus passing yards.
