Florida vs. Tennessee could be one of the toughest games to handicap in college football's Week 4.

The Volunteers seem like a mess, with losses to Georgia State and BYU and a win over FCS Chattanooga. Florida meanwhile lost quarterback Feleipe Franks for the season and will now turn to the relatively unknown Kyle Trask.

Below are our oddsmaker-style power ratings and projections and keys to the game for both teams.

One Key for Florida

The biggest unknown for Florida in this game is quarterback Kyle Trask, who hasn't started a game since early high school (he backed up now-Houston quarterback D'Eriq King). He's now the man in charge with Feleipe Franks done for the season.

Trask actually contended for the starting job last year despite not having much status as a prospect, and looked good when leading Florida back from the dead against Kentucky last week — 9 of 13 for 126 yards, almost all in the second half.

One Key for Tennessee

This team feels like it's in shambles, but the one key in this game isn't really a personnel thing. It's whether or not the market is overreacting to Tennessee's two losses.

No, you cannot lose to Georgia State and BYU and expect anyone to believe in you. Yes, you can bounce back from that.

The Vols have a positive yards per play differential of, a perfectly fine 47th in the nation. The offense has gained at least 5.4 yards per play in every game this season.

Morale is definitely down at Tennessee, but the wheels haven't completely come off just yet.
