College Football Week 4

This whole picking thing isn't working out for me this year... Last week looked just like the first and hopefully I can finally right the ship this week. There are some great match ups in the PAC-12 and the ACC. Of course, there is also the huge match up in South Bend. Without any more delay, to the picks!

Oregon-42 Arizona-10 - I don't think Arizona is that good...yet. Rich Rod will work is magic in a few seasons, but 'zona isn't going to stay in the top 25 this year. Oregon has too much speed with De'Anthony Thomas and the only question coming into this season, the QB, has a solid answer in Marcus Mario'ta. The Ducks will cruise at home and win their first PAC-12 game of the year.

TCU-30 Virginia-20 - TCU didn't have the greatest start to the season last week, but against this weaker ACC team, they should shine. They will need to make sure that they get their run game established. With Waymon James out for the year, Matthew Tucker is going to need to get a lot of carries in this game. Watch for The TCU wide outs to have another solid week as Casey Pachall passes all over the field.

Florida State- 28 Clemson- 21 - E.J. Manuel is going to have a great game. He's already gone for over 500 yards and this week he will add a lot to that. Clemson is strong, but I don't think they have the defense to keep up with FSU. The Seminole defense is going the story of the game though. The look like the Noles of old and will really keep Tajh Boyd down.

Oklahoma-14 KSU-10 - This will be a really close game. KSU are a really good team this year and Oklahoma may be a bit overrated. If the Wildcats can keep it close in the first half, I think they have a chance. Ultimately, I think the Sooners will feed off the home crowd and pull out the close win.

Notre Dame-10 Michigan-21 - Michigan isn't a great team. The defense may be good enough to keep them in the Big 10 race, Robinson can't pass the ball. The Irish have the same issues with their offense as well. It will truly be a battle of the defenses. I just think that Notre Dame gave their performance of the year last week and that is what gives Michigan the win.

Quick Picks

Iowa- 35 CMU- 10

UCLA- 24 Oregon State- 3

Miami- 20 Georgia Tech- 17

South Carolina- 35 Missouri- 10

Northern Illinois- 20 Kansas- 10
