NCAA Week Four Picks

I have no creative title with you because I am enjoying a few rum/diets. Sorry everyone who expects the creative titles but here are the picks.

1. Florida-at Kentucky- Many people were left wondering if the Gators offense isn't as good as we thought they were after Tennessee. Kentucky has always been pesky at home and they have been alright so far this season. I think this game is close until the fourth. UF 35-21

2. Texas-vs. UTEP- The Longhorns defense looked pretty good against the Red Raiders last weekend and now they get to pray on the Miners. This shouldn't be a problem for Colt McCoy. UT 52-17

3. Alabama-vs. Arkansas- A lot of hype surrounding the Crimson Tide so far and I will be interested in this game because you have a good offense going up against a great defense. Ryan Mallet will be tested for sure in this one and too much pressure in Tuscaloosa. BAMA 24-9

4. Ole Miss-at South Carolina- Covered HERE- Also I would like to say Jevan Sneed thanks for being the most overrated player in the NCAA so far. Congrats.

5. Penn State-vs. Iowa- Covered HERE

6. California-at Oregon- "Chucks Corner Upset Alert III" I put Penn State/UNC already but the Golden Bears looked alright against the Gophers last weekend plus Jahvid Best has to be the Heisman favorite so far. The Ducks looked good against Utah and I think the Autzen Zoo keeps it close yet they still fall in defeat. CAL 38-34

7. LSU-at Mississippi St.- The Tigers are beating up on the teams that they are supposed to beat so far and slowly creeping up the polls. There is no reason why they should lose to the Bulldogs even on the road. LSU 35-10

8. Boise State-at Bowling Green- Interesting matchup due to the fact its on the road for the Broncos whose offense looked awesome against the Bulldogs and the Falcons who came close to beating Missouri on the road. The Broncos win very close. BSU 41-35

9. Miami-at 11. Virginia Tech- The U has shot up to the top 10 and Jacory Harris is slowly becoming my favorite player of 2009 not named Tim Tebow. This could be a problem for the Canes because the Hokies have a great defense. Yet I agree with my roommate Seth, Virginia Tech is overrated. The U pulls away late. MIA 28-17

11. Virgina Tech- SEE 9. Miami

12. USC-vs. Washington St.- The one team I wouldn't want to be is the Cougars. This will be an absolute train wreck for them. It will get ugly. USC 42-7

13. Ohio State-vs. Illinois- The Fighting Illini have disappointed so far therefore you have to wonder about Ron Zook's job a bit. I think the Buckeyes will not have a problem in this one at home especially. OSU 27-3

14. Cincinnati-vs. Fresno St.- Wait, the Bearcats have hiked up to the top 15. Talk about a team that might be in the Top 10 for no reason but just playing in the Big East. They will dominate the Bulldogs on the offense end. CINCY 45-20

15. TCU-at Clemson- This has to be the ultimate upset alert. The Horned Frogs haven't played anybody and the Tigers have a great running back in C.J. Spiller. I am definitely taking the Tigers in this one. CLEM 24-13

16. Oklahoma St.-vs. Grambling St.- The Cowboys are lucky they are playing an FCS team because they are missing Dez Bryant, Kendall Hunter, and some random corner thats good. They should still win. OSU 35-3

17. Houston-vs. Texas Tech- The Cougars are in the top 25 because they have beat Oklahoma State and can they do it again against the Red Raiders. I say yes because I really do not think Texas Tech is that good. HOU 52-28

18. Florida State-vs. South Florida- The Noles are back in the top 20 after dismantling BYU on the road and Christian Ponder is the real deal. This game has lost its luster because Matt Grothe is done for the year. Should be a blowout. FSU 38-3

19. BYU-vs. Colorado State- The Cougars have once again become irrelevant as they falter into the bottom half of the top 25. They will be fine against the Rams. BYU 41-14

20. Kansas-vs. Southern Miss- The Jayhawks haven't played anyone so far but I really feel that the Eagles haven't played anyone special plus almost lost to Virginia. Todd Reesing and company should just dominate. KU 42-21

21. Georgia-vs. Arizona St.- The Sun Devils are the top defense in the nation so far but they have played teams that are comparable to the Special Olympics. The Bulldogs showed me something last week and they should be fine against ASU. DAWGS 34-13

22. North Carolina-at Georgia Tech- This is a weak one but "Chucks Corner Upset Alert". This one has to fall into place. The Yellow Jackets are mad about the lost from last week and the Tar Heels haven't done much so far this year. GT 28-14

23. Michigan-vs. Indiana- The Wolverines get their taste of Big 10 football but the Hoosiers who are undefeated, shouldn't be a problem for Michigan. They should do work on Saturday. MICH 35-10

24. Washington-at Stanford- You have to wonder if this is a for sure letdown for the Huskies after beating the Trojans. This game will be close and it will be an ugly performance by both teams. I like Jake Locker so he will pull them out late. WASH 20-17

25. Nebraska-vs. LA Layfette- The Cornhuskers are playing another cupcake after losing a tight one last week against the Hokies. They should be fine in this one. NEB 49-6
