Week 4 of the college football season is here, and ESPN's premier preview show is back to pick college football's most intriguing games.

This week, "College GameDay" was in Knoxville, Tennessee, for the top-25 SEC showdown between the No. 13 Tennessee Volunteers and the No. 1 Texas Longhorns at Neyland Stadium. Saturday was the 13th time College Gameday has originated from the University of Tennessee, and the first time since Sept. 13, 2025, when Tennessee hosted Georgia.

This week, the usual lineup of Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, and former Alabama head coach Nick Saban made their picks for this week's biggest games, with Johnny Knoxville serving as this week's guest picker. Knoxville, of Jackass fame, was the third-most popular choice for this week's guest picker behind former Volunteers quarterback Peyton Manning and country music superstar Morgan Wallen, according to a report by the Knoxville News-Sentinel.
