What to make of the Pac-12, Georgia? Who wins Week 4 showdowns? College Football Fix discusses

The Pac-12 is staying alive. The announcement last week that the conference was bringing in four schools with the plan to bring in more before the 2026 football season means it isn't going away. But will the new additions - Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State and San Diego State - and new arrivals really keep the league among the elite position it previous occupied?
On the the field last week, Georgia had a major struggle with Kentucky, raising questions about the Bulldogs being the No. 1 team. Texas is lurking behind them and they have their own drama with an injury to quarterback Quinn Ewers and the strong play from backup Arch Manning.
Things didn't get much better in Week 3 for both Florida State and Florida with both teams losing at home and dropping to a combined 1-5. The Seminoles won't be changing its coach any time soon but there are concerns about the future of Gators coach Billy Napier.
Week 4 sees conference games get full attention with several teams getting its first taste of their new leagues. Oklahoma is hosting Tennessee in its first SEC game. Southern California makes its Big Ten debut at Michigan. And Utah kicks off its Big 12 campaign at Oklahoma. Who will emerge victorious.
Dan Wolken and Paul Myerberg of USA TODAY Sports discuss these topics and more in this week's version of the College Football Fix.
