College football's game of the week kicks off from Norman, Okla., the new Western frontier of the newly expanded SEC, in a battle of ranked teams each looking to make a statement and avoid an early loss, as No. 15 Oklahoma welcomes No. 6 Tennessee on Saturday night.

Oklahoma comes in off two close results, pulling away from an upset-minded Tulane last weekend and playing too close against big underdog Houston the week before, setting its new-look offensive line against a ferocious Tennessee front in the program's SEC debut.

Big Orange has outscored its opposition 191 to 13 through three games, including against a ranked NC State two weeks ago, but this game represents a more stringent road test that will give us a more detailed picture of how this team performs against better-quality competition.

Let's take a look at what the oddsmakers expect from the Oklahoma vs. Tennessee game in Week 4.
