COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEK 4 PICKS

     After a record of 15-3 last week, my overall record now stands at 49-11, slightly bumping up my accuracy to 82%. This week should be no different because unfortunately, this might be the most uneventful week of the season. Regardless, I'll go through everything and see if I forsee any upsets, here we go.

     #3. Clemson @ N.C. State: N.C. State has a habit of playing really good teams tough at home. But then again they looked pitiful last week against Richmond. Clemson looks scary good so far, and I can't see N.C. State tripping them up. Maybe it's close for a half since it's a road game on Thursday night, but Clemson's offense is too much for N.C. State in the end.    Clem 45  NCST 17

FAMU @ #4 Ohio State: Even without Braxton Miller, the Buckeyes have had no shortage of offense. Guiton has been an incredible back up, throwing 7 touchdowns in less than 2 games. No matter who takes the snaps on Saturday, the Buckeyes should roll over the Rattlers pretty convincingly.    Bucks 52 FAMU 0

FIU @ #7 Louisville: Another week, another crappy opponent for Louisville. I'll keep it short and sweet, big numbers for Bridgewater and a big W for Louisville.   L'ville 48 FIU 7

North Texas @ #9 Georgia: Things are finally clicking for Georgia after the opening week loss to Clemson. They looked much better against South Carolina, and after playing two top ten teams, they deserve a light game. And that's what this should be, a straight blowout.    UGA 45 UNT 6

Idaho State @ #17 Washington: Washington also deserves a break after playing Boise and Illinois in their first 2 games. Granted that's not too tough but it's better than most played so far. Washington benefits from playing good competition and gets by Idaho State without much effort.    Wash 45 Idaho State 13

Maine @ #18 Northwestern: Don't be fooled by their 3-0 record...Maine is still crap. It's Northwestern's last game before the Big 10 conference schedule so they may look ahead and have a slow start, but they're still way more talented then Maine's athletes.    NW 42 Maine 7

Tennessee @ #19 Florida: UF had a bye week to recover after a loss at Miami and get back on track. Tennessee got pounded by Oregon. Lately UF has had the best of the rivalry...and I expect that tradition to continue in the swamp.    UF 20 Tenn 10

Michigan State @ #22 Notre Dame: Michigan State is trying to return to the college football threat that they once were, and starting 3-0 is a good first step. Meanwhile the Irish rebounded from a loss in the big house to defeat their rival Purdue last week on the road. Notre Dame's early competition should help them prepare for this one, along with Tommy Rees' experience should help the Irish win this one at home.    ND 27 MSU 20

Purdue @ #24 Wisconsin: Last week's ending to the Wisconsin game was one of the most controversial conclusions to a football game I have ever seen. Wisconsin had the game won, I'm not even sure how you recover from that. But sports are weird like that, maybe Wisconsin can channel this as motivation and put on a big performance at home. And Purdue is coming off a tough loss as well. It should be a good fight...but I think Wisconsin needs the win more right now.    Wisc 24 Purdue 21

Louisiana-Monroe @ #20 Baylor: So far the Baylor offense is up there with the best. scoring 139 points in 2 games. While ULM is slightly more well rounded than Baylor's first 2 opponents, they just don't have the firepower to stand toe to toe with Baylor's offense.    Baylor 56 ULM 21

Bethune-Cookman @ #8 Florida State: There's no nice way of putting this...FSU's playing Bethune Cookman today and they're going to obliterate them...with both the rush and pass. Another big day for Jameis.    FSU 70 BC 3

Colorado State @ #1 Alabama: Bama finally catches a break after playing Virginia Tech and Texas A&M in their first 2 games. Handling Colorado State is nothing compared to those teams. Bama wins big.      Bama 48 Colorado State 0

#23 Arizona State @ #5 Stanford: The only ranked game of the week....and only because Arizona State won off bad officiating the week before. While I'm still not sold on Stanford as a top 5 team, I do think they're more well rounded than Arizona State, especially on the defensive side. And that will make all the difference and lead to a home victory.    Stan 27 ASU 13

Southern-Methodist @ #10 Texas A&M: The Aggies should be able to rebound from a close loss to Bama. They picked apart the nation's greatest defense of the past 4-5 years for 42 points. Expect a big day for Manziell, but more woes from the defense.     TAMU 56 SM 21

Savannah State @ #16 Miami: Miami still has some question marks offensively, but Savannah State won't be able to keep up with Miami's speed, strength, or athleticism. Hurricanes continue their hot start.    Miami 45 Savannah State 0

Texas State @ #25 Texas Tech: Texas Tech gets ranked simply because they beat an overrated TCU team at home. I'm not buying Texas Tech as a ranked team, but I am buying that they beat Texas State.    TT 35 Texas State 7

Auburn @ #6 LSU: This might actually be the best game of the weekend. LSU looks solid, actually they look better than they have in years past. Auburn might be back too, starting 3-0 and winning their first SEC game last week against Mississippi State. I think Auburn will compete and remind people of what they're capable of...but you can almost always count on LSU to make enough big plays in Death Valley to seal the deal.    LSU 27 Auburn 17

#15 Michigan @ Connecticut: Is this game really on ABC?? Connecticut won't be able to hang with the Wolverines at the current rate both teams are playing. Although Michigan almost lost to Akron last week so nothing is certain. But Michigan is a better football team at the end of the day.    Mich 31 Uconn 10

New Mexico State @ #13 UCLA: UCLA showed last week that they were a contender not a pretender. 38 unanswered to beat Nebraska on the road and this team is riding an emotional high. Expect that to carry over to this week as the Bruins pick up another W.    UCLA 45 NMST 7
