College Football Week 4 TV schedule, online streaming, GameThread

For the first time in 2015, we have to wait until after dark for Northwestern football. The Wildcats play in primetime on BTN vs. Ball State, so NU fans have a full Saturday to enjoy the rest of what Week 4 in college football has to offer.

And what's more, there are plenty games of interest during the day. Here are the highlights:

- Let's start with last night. Stanford won 42-24 at Oregon State, and for the second week in a row, looked excellent doing so. The Cardinal is firmly back on track after its opening week stumble at Northwestern, and with every win, the Wildcats' Week 1 victory looks more and more impressive.

- There are two games to watch in the 11 a.m. CT window. In the Big Ten, Michigan hosts BYU in its first real test since a Week 1 loss at Utah. Meanwhile, Duke, whom NU beat last week, hosts Georgia Tech. A Blue Devils upset would have a similar effect on the perception of Northwestern as Stanford's win over USC.

- If you're a channel-flipper, Purdue-Bowling Green could be your alternate option at the early window. The game is on BTN, and Bowling Green is 4.5-point road favorite.

- Have you been following the #iufb4gameday movement? Read about it here. And then root for Indiana to win at Wake Forest (11:30 a.m. CT, ESPN3).

- Northwestern's Week 5 opponent, Minnesota, welcomes Ohio to Minneapolis at 2:30 CT (BTN). Do some scouting on the Gophers.

- The 2:30 p.m. CT time slot has two games with national intrigue: Tennessee at Florida on CBS and Oklahoma State at Texas on ABC.

- At 3:45 p.m. CT on FOX, TCU is going to lose to Texas Tech.

- If the Northwestern game doesn't hold your interest, the late games of note are Texas A&M vs. Arkansas in Arlington, Tx., Mississippi State at Auburn, UCLA at Arizona, Utah at Oregon, and maybe after the NU game, USC at Arizona State.

The following is the full Week 4 television schedule. As the drama unfolds throughout the afternoon leading up to the Northwestern game, let's discuss in the comments.
