Week 4 of the 2026 college football season concluded for SEC teams.

A top 15 matchup was contested between No. 1 Texas (4-0, 1-0 SEC) and No. 13 Tennessee (3-1, 0-1 SEC). The Longhorns remain undefeated after a, 20-17, win at Neyland Stadium.

"Credit to Texas, good football team," Tennessee head coach Josh Heuel said. "Love the effort. How we played defensively, a lot of our special teams. Offensively, just not anywhere close to being good enough to beat a team like this.

"Everybody will have a hand in it when we go back on Monday with the tape, with the guys. Up front, not good enough. Quarterback, not good enough. Everybody’s got a hand in it. Ultimately, we’ve got to be better. I do love how the team continued to fight, played to the last play.

We didn’t play smart enough, but I’ll take the effort of playing the next fight, continuing to fight until the clock hits zero."

Following Week 4, SEC football power rankings and each team's schedule are listed below.
