One month has passed in the college football season as Week 4 is now in the books. There were some dominant performances that led the way including #17 Texas Tech dominating #16 Utah at the line of scrimmage. The college football world has been interested to see the Red Raiders get tested after an offseason of revamping their team through the portal, spending heavily on NIL. On Saturday, at least, that plan paid off as the Red Raiders came out of Salt Lake City with a 34-10 victory. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss if Texas Tech is the best team in the Big 12. Plus, there was a big matchup in Norman, Oklahoma as #11 Oklahoma squeaked out a win over #22 Auburn. The guys discuss what this matchup told us about each school and what their season may look like going forward.Later, they discuss another dominant win as #19 Indiana got their first win over a Top 10 team in five years with a 63-10 beatdown of #9 Illinois. Was Illinois overrated or is Indiana actually that good? The guys discuss. They also take a look at a few other embarrassing losses from Saturday. Oklahoma State, Clemson and North Carolina all look like programs in disarray. Can any of them salvage a season, or is it doom and gloom for them this year? The guys chat about each program's issues. Lastly, the American Conference has been very impressive this season and people have started to take notice. The guys feel confident the winner of this conference is going to the CFP, but who might that be? They discuss the various options of who may claim that spot and what the success of this conference means for college football. Can the non-Power 4 conferences still be successful in the current age of college football? The American Conference's success seems to suggest so. Catch up on anything you missed from a wild Week 4 on College Football Enquirer.(5:47) - #17 Texas Tech dominates #16 Utah(15:11) #11 Oklahoma survives #22 Auburn(24:01) - #21 Michigan hands Nebraska their first loss(29:00) - Wisconsin continues to fall apart(34:30) - #19 Indiana dominates #9 Illinois(37:40) - Oklahoma State continues disastrous season(40:45) - Clemson's worst start under Dabo Swinney(44:06) - North Carolina struggles under Bill Belichick(52:07) - The American Conference continues to impress(1:00:25) - Who else impressed in Week 4?(1:07:02) - Looking at Week 5 Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:

Can these coaches turn it around and cool off the hot seat like some other coaches have done this year?Later in the show, the guys chat about a new trend in college football for how to revamp a struggling offense.

Two successful examples of this, so far this season, are Oklahoma's OC Ben Arbuckle and QB John Mateer and Utah's OC Jason Beck and QB Devon Dampier. Andy, Ross and Steven discuss why this new trend is proving to be successful and if they think this will grow to be the norm.
