Friday night football goes under the lights today as the college football schedule gets an early start to its Week 4 slate of games, with three matchups involving Power Four conferences kicking off.

Last night saw the Sun Belt officially start the Week 4 schedule, after South Alabama came off an 87-10 victory to beat playoff hopeful Appalachian State in a dominant 48-14 win on the road, and now some other College Football Playoff upstarts look to make a statement of their own.

A new-look ACC conference matchup gets underway with Kyle McCord and Syracuse hosting Stanford to the Dome, while Nebraska and Illinois look to stay perfect in a battle of ranked Big Ten rivals.

Later tonight, Washington State, coming off a marquee win against rival Washington, welcomes San Jose State, one of the Mountain West schools that didn’t get an invite in the Pac-12’s recent expansion project.

Here’s your look at the full Week 4 college football schedule kicking off today.
