Remember when Florida State was considered to be one of the top teams in the country? And remember when you didn't even know who Lamar Jackson was? Like a week ago? Week 3 changed all of that for sure, and now as we head into Week 4, there are a lot of teams out there who are set to hit the tipping point of their season one way or the other, and this is going to be a make-or-break week for several clubs.

Games of the Week
Arkansas at Texas AM Saturday 9 p.m. ET
If we're really being realistic at this point, there are only about 30 teams who are even still remotely able to go to the College Football Playoff, and like it or not, Texas AM and Arkansas are chief amongst them. Both teams are in the back end of the Top 25, and this is one of just three games this weekend pitting a pair of Top 25 teams against each other.
The Aggies have really gotten their acts together with Trevor Knight under center. They rank in the Top 25 in the land in total offense, passing offense, rushing offense and scoring offense, and there aren't many who can say that after just three weeks of play. AM already has two really good wins against UCLA an Auburn, and if it can win this one, the coast might be clear to get to 6-0 by the time the trip to Alabama rolls around.
Arkansas has come a long way already from its 21-20 survival against Louisiana Tech in Week 1. Since then, the team took care of TCU on the road and blew out Texas State. Again, this is the last hurdle to be undefeated before a game against Alabama comes up on the docket, as the Hogs take on Alcorn State next week before hosting the Crimson Tide.
Wisconsin at Michigan State – Saturday 12:00 p.m. ET
Are either of these teams legitimately amongst the 10 best in America? We're not so sure about that. But we do know one thing. The winner of this game is going to have a shot to get into the Top 5 in the nation if the victory is emphatic enough.
Michigan State already came up with a huge win against Notre Dame last week on the road, and this is yet another step in the right direction for a club that badly wants to get back into the CFP for a second straight campaign.
The Badgers meanwhile, are basically just living off of the win against LSU. The Tigers haven't lost since that point, but they haven't exactly looked great either. If Wisconsin wants to prove that it's a legit team, this is the setting for it to happen in. All too often though, teams like this who have emphatic wins early on in the season fall flat against the big time teams. Most will assume that the Spartans are the right play here when the betting odds come on the board in this one.
