College Football 2010 (Week 4).....

Conference play is starting up and this week there are four matchups of Top 25 teams. It is highlighted by #1 Alabama traveling to #10 Arkansas. Plus Boise St. gets its second "test" of the season when the Oregon St. Beavers coming calling up to the blue turf.

Week 4 games:

Arkansas (#10) over Alabama (#1) - Alabama's secondary is young and Fayetteville is going to be a tough SEC road trip. We haven't had a good upset at the top of the SEC for a couple of years, so why not have one here in this spot? A good game here, plus the upset, give a huge push for Ryan Mallett and the Heisman.
Boise St. (#3) over Oregon St. (#24) - I so want to pick the Beavers to go up to the blue turf and pull the upset, but I just can't pull the trigger. Boise St. at home are very difficult to beat and they win again to keep their BCS championship game hope alive.
South Carolina (#12) over Auburn (#17) - The "ol' boy coach" has the Gamecocks playing good football, but they will need a great effort to get the road victory. I am believing in this SC team and think they keep the roll alive and the possible showdown with Florida later in the year.
LSU (#15) over West Virginia (#22) - It is very hard to travel and play LSU, and even more so for a non-conference team. A WV victory would be a big boost to the Big East, but I don't see it happening this Saturday.
Stanford (#16) over Notre Dame - The MSU loss was as tough of a loss as Notre Dame will have all year. Stanford is a very good team and with quarterback Andrew Luck will light up the average Irish defense.
USC (#20) over Washington St. - USC has not looked great these last few weeks and has to travel to Pullman, but I don't think the Cougars have enough talent to pull the upset over the Trojans.



Week 3: 4-2
2010 season: 14-4
