Ahead of Texas and Tennessee's Week 4 SEC showdown, the question was asked plenty: Who's the top UT?
As far as the Longhorns are concerned, the result on the field has now officially decided the matter.
Texas notched a 20-17 win Saturday afternoon, adding another ranked win to its impressive early-season résumé. It wasn't without some late consternation, as a late Volunteer touchdown and successful onside kick gave Tennessee the chance at a stunning last-gasp comeback, but a relentless pass rush helped the Longhorns eventually escape unscathed.
And they left Knoxville while offering a final parting shot via social media. Texas posted a simple message after the win: "Debate settled."

The Longhorns weren't the only team to offer up a troll this week. Here are the top virtual jabs from Week 4.
Mississippi State 31, Missouri 24
Perhaps the hottest team in the nation resides in Starkville, where Mississippi State kept its undefeated start to the season rolling Saturday night. Kamario Taylor threw for 360 yards and a trio of touchdowns as the Bulldogs secured a major conference victory over Missouri.
And they kept receipts to boot. Mississippi State took to X after the final whistle to post a video that starts with a clip of Tigers coach Eli Drinkwitz talking about preparing his team for Starkville's cowbells ... and then segues into a hype video of Bulldogs players and fans. The post's caption? "When Will They Learn..."

Oklahoma State 41, West Virginia 24
Oklahoma State picked up its third straight win against West Virginia, riding an explosive offensive display that included over 600 yards from scrimmage to a Big 12 Conference road win in Morgantown.
The Cowboys made reference to the contest being the Mountaineers' annual "Gold Rush" game with a clever postgame caption: "Fool's gold."

Iowa 20, Michigan 19
Three weeks after Michigan escaped an upset bid by Western Michigan on a touchdown pass in the game's final seconds, the scenario repeated itself in Ann Arbor -- but this time the shoe was on the other foot. Iowa got one final crack at the Wolverines' end zone with two seconds remaining on Saturday night and made it count, with Hank Brown finding Reece Vander Zee for a 16-yard, game-winning score.
The Hawkeyes made sure to get their licks in on social media afterward. The University of Iowa posted a series of game photos -- with "Owned by Hawkeyes" signs edited onto each. The Hawkeyes football account added some trolls of its own for good measure.

Wake Forest 30, Louisville 27
Some late dramatics made Wake Forest's road upset of Louisville particularly thrilling -- the Cardinals had two field goal attempts to tie the game in the final minutes, but the first missed and the second was blocked as the clock ran out.
As the Demon Deacons left Derby City with a win, their social media team provided a visual to match. Wake Forest posted a video on X of the school's deacon mascot riding his trademark motorcycle out of the stadium via the red-carpeted "Card March," with a "DEACS WIN" banner unfurling behind the scene from the top of L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium.

Baylor 23, Colorado 13
Baylor posted a result worthy of its distinctive throwback threads, topping Colorado to earn a conference victory.
The Bears leaned into the vintage theme postgame, posting "Party like it's 1991" -- with a graphic showing a cracked old-school television set showing a buffalo, with a bear claw mark made in the ground.

UAB 24, Navy 20
A 48-yard fourth-quarter touchdown run by Bam McReynolds made the difference for UAB, which notched its second win of the season.
The Blazers went with a creative version of the traditional mascot-oriented troll after the game, posting a graphic of UAB players celebrating above a "Battleship" board game set, captioned "BATTLE. WON."

Liberty 34, Coastal Carolina 17
Liberty trailed Coastal Carolina 17-10 at halftime on the road, but found a second gear in the second half -- posting 24 unanswered points to move to 3-1 on the young season.
Following the win, the Flames' X account posed an open question: "what even is a Chanticleer???" with the query accompanied by a graphic of an eagle with a teal feather snared in its beak. The image also has its own text -- "GOBBLE GOBBLE," written at the top of the graphic above a display of the game's final score.
