We had some unbelievable games in College Football last week and we’re getting close to the start of conference play for most conferences. Again it’ll be a short preview of some must watch games in CFB but we won’t dive in too deep. 12 games, 12 quick picks, 1 long post on Week 4 of College Football
Last week’s record: 8-3. Not bad, but I look to eclipse that
#12 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (3-0) 
#18 Wisconsin Badgers (1-1)
Chicago, IL
NOON on FOX (BIG NOON KICKOFF)
LINE: (WIS -6.5)
Jack Coan leads the Irish into Chicago to battle his former team. The Irish have looked shaky, but last week’s win against Purdue silenced any doubters. Wisconsin is looking for a big win to vault them into conference play, and beating the Irish will do just that
PREDICTION: Notre Dame’s defense is the difference in this game. They’re gonna stop the run and force Graham Mertz to throw and he hasn’t been great this season when he has to win games by himself. Notre Dame wins this game in an upset
Texas Tech Red Raiders (3-0) 
Texas Longhorns (2-1)
Austin, TX
NOON on ABC
LINE: (TEX -9)
Bijan Robinson leads the Longhorns into conference play against in-state foe Texas Tech. The Red Raiders can score a lot of points and are playing much better on defense, especially against the run only giving up 54 yards per game on the ground. Texas cannot go to 2-2 to start this season under Steve Sarkisian, but what a win this could be for Texas Tech on the road in Austin
UPSET PREDICTION: Texas Tech will score too many points in Austin and I’m a believer in this Texas Tech defense. Red Raiders go on the road and get the upset
Missouri Tigers (2-1) 
Boston College Eagles (3-0)
Chestnut Hill, MA
NOON on ESPN2
LINE: (MIZ -1.5)
Connor Bazelak is one of the most underrated quarterbacks in College Football, but this is a big test for Missouri before conference play. BC is hosting its first SEC school in almost 35 years and ran the ball extremely well. Two offenses that are strong on different styles of attack will be on display at the Heights this Saturday
PREDICTION: Can’t go against my BC Eagles. I actually do think they’ll win this game. BC can run the football and Mizzou can’t stop the run. Bazelak will have a good game, but BC wins at home
Washington State Cougars (1-2) 
Utah Utes (1-2)
Salt Lake City, UT
2:30pm on the PAC 12 Network
LINE: (UTAH -15)
I don’t even know who’s going to win this game. Both defenses are bad, and the offenses are worse. Big game for Utah after losing two in a row after such a high ranking out of the PAC 12 and I don’t think Washington State wants to go to 0-2 in the PAC 12 if they lose this game.
PREDICTION: Tough pick. I’m gonna go with Utah mainly because they’re playing at home
#7 Texas A&M Aggies (3-0) 
#16 Arkansas Razorbacks (3-0)
AT&T Stadium
Arlington, TX
3:30pm on CBS
LINE: (A&M -4.5)
MARVEL SPORTS CFB GAME OF THE WEEK
Big game on a big stage when A&M battles Arkansas. Obviously the winner has a good chance to contend in the SEC West, but how big of a win would this be for a program like Arkansas? The Razorbacks were laughingstocks over the last couple seasons but they have a very solid run stopping defense and an offense that can score a lot of points. Jimbo and the Aggies have their work cut out for them with a backup quarterback and their first legitimate test of the season against the Razorbacks
UPSET PREDICTION: A&M is dealing with injuries in some key spots, Arkansas is playing with a lot of firepower. I like the Razorbacks to end the losing streak against A&M. They will shut down the Aggies running attack and win a low scoring game and everyone in the SEC West should be on the lookout for Arkansas
#9 Clemson Tigers (2-1) 
North Carolina State Wolfpack (2-1)
Raleigh, NC
3:30pm on ABC
LINE: (CLEM -10)
Legit question: DOES ANYONE WANT TO WIN THE ACC? I mean, come on man. Clemson has looked awful against the Power 5 and they’ve only scored 17 points in both Power 5 games this season. One of those games was last week against Georgia Tech and they only won by six against a team they’ve decimated over the last few years. Watch out, Clemson. NC State has kept the last couple games close and can score, so this won’t be a pushover game unless Clemson’s offense can turn things around
UPSET PREDICTION: NC State wins this game. At home, Clemson can’t score, NC State can, and I believe in the Wolfpack defense
#14 Iowa State Cyclones (2-1) 
Baylor Bears (3-0)
Waco, TX
3:30pm on FOX
LINE: (ISU -7)
The Cyclones look for an all important BIG 12 opening victory in Waco against the undefeated Bears. However, Baylor’s undefeated record is a little misleading considering the Bears three opponents have a combined record of 1-5. The Cyclones bring in ones of the best defenses in all of College Football so look for it to be on display on the Brazos River in a crucial BIG 12 showdown
PREDICTION: I think Baylor’s heading in the right direction but after watching ISU’s offense get back on track last week, I think they’ll pull out the win in Waco. Cyclones defense is the difference. ISU wins on the road but I’d take Baylor +7
Tennessee Volunteers (2-1) 
#11 Florida Gators (2-1)
Gainesville, FL
7pm on ESPN
LINE: (FLA -19)
Florida’s loss to Alabama confirmed that the Gators will still be in the mix of an SEC title and perhaps even a CFP berth if they keep winning. Dangerous game for Florida against Tennessee who can score some points with Virginia Tech transfer, Hendon Hooker. The Vols lone loss was a seven point defeat to Pittsburgh at home, but I like what I see out of their offense right now. Can Florida get over last week’s loss in time to battle their old Southern rival
PREDICTION: I like Tennessee to cover but the Gators will win. They’ll start slow because of last week, but I think this defense makes a couple plays and Anthony Richardson is healthy and the Gators win at home in a close game
Nebraska Cornhuskers (2-2) 
#20 Michigan State Spartans
East Lansing, MI
7pm on FS1
LINE: (MSU -5)
Michigan State did pull the upset and looked fantastic against Miami last week in South Florida, but now after handling all the praise, can they get back down to Earth? Nebraska was a couple miscues away from beating Oklahoma so they have to have gained some confidence from last week. Watch out, Spartans. A possible upset is in play in East Lansing
UPSET PREDICTION: If Nebraska doesn’t turn the ball over, I think they’ll win this game. I was impressed with them last week and I wonder how Mel Tucker’s team will act being in the Top 20 for the first time since 2018. Cornhuskers get the upset
West Virginia Mountaineers (2-1) 
#4 Oklahoma Sooners (3-0)
Norman, OK
7:30pm on ABC
LINE: (OU -17)
Oklahoma hasn’t looked dominant to start the season. They had three cupcake games to start the schedule (yes Nebraska included) and didn’t look good in two of them. Spencer Rattler’s turnover problems from last year have continued to start this year and this offense can’t get going at times. It took a miraculous interception among other turnovers for them to escape Nebraska. Now I don’t think West Virginia will be a great BIG 12 team this season, but Jarret Doege has played well and Leddie Brown can run the football and I like what I’m seeing from this defense. Oklahoma has to play like they are the #4 team in College Football at home, under the lights and the nation’s eye, on Saturday night to earn back some respect
PREDICTION: This will be the day that Oklahoma finally gets going. They will win by 14 points. WVU’s defense will keep it close for at least three quarters but they don’t have enough offense to win this game. Oklahoma wins but WVU covers
Arizona Wildcats (0-3) 
#3 Oregon Ducks (3-0)
Eugene, OR
10:30pm on ESPN
LINE: (ORE -28.5)
Oregon kicks off PAC 12 play against Arizona. Since Kevin Sumlin was fired last season, the Wildcats still haven’t figured out their issues. Arizona can’t run the ball or stop the run. Oregon is the opposite. They have a lot of speed in their backfield and a quarterback who can run and throw and a good run stopping defense. Not to mention, they’re going to get Kayvon Thibodeaux among others back from injury really soon.
PREDICTION: Charlie just moved into Eugene and he’s at the game. No chance for Arizona. Oregon by 35
Colorado Buffaloes (1-2) 
Arizona State Sun Devils (2-1)
Tempe, AZ
10:30pm on ESPNU
LINE: (ASU -14)
Back to the drawing board for both Colorado and Arizona State. What happened to Colorado last week against Minnesota? Minnesota’s defense isn’t good and the Buffaloes got shutout which doesn’t happen very often especially in Boulder. The Buffs have to find an identity in their passing game. ASU did score but lost a heartbreaker in Provo to BYU. The Sun Devils turned the ball over too much despite Jayden Daniels having an efficient day. Good chance to get right against Colorado on a late Saturday night in Tempe
PREDICTION: ASU bounces back if they don’t turn the ball over. Colorado can’t pass the football and can’t stop the pass. ASU wins at home
