College Football 2010 Week 4 Picks

Last week I went a mediocre 7-6 in picking college games. On the season I am 24-10. So let’s see if I can improve on that record with my college football week 4 picks.


Thursday September 23rd


7:30 ESPN: #19 Miami at Pittsburgh

I don’t trust Dave Wannnstedt in big games. I think Jacory Harris will play very well in this game, and only throw two interceptions. Miami 31 Pittsburgh 27.

It will be a good night for Jacory Harris. He will only throw two picks against Pittsburgh.

Friday September 24th


8:00 ESPN: #4 TCU at SMU

SMU will be great in time with June Jones. But TCU is much better than SMU right now on both sides of the ball. TCU 38 SMU 17.

Saturday September 25th


12:00 ESPN3: Buffalo at UCONN

Two teams that have disappointed early. I would love to see UB win this game, but I just don’t see it happening. UCONN 27 Buffalo 13.

12:00 ESPN: N.C. State at Georgia Tech

Russell Wilson is so good at QB for N.C. State. But I bet against Georgia Tech last week in the ACC, and I won’t make the same mistake again. Georgia Tech 30 N.C. State 23.

12:00 ESPN3: Virginia Tech at Boston College

Virginia Tech finally woke up in the fourth quarter against East Carolina last week. I expect the good times to continue for Virginia Tech. VT 30 BC 17.

3:30 CBS: #1 Alabama at #10 Arkansas

Last season Ryan Mallet played his best game against the Florida Gators. So I expect to see him play very well versus the Crimson Tide. I think Arkansas’ defense will have a hard time stopping Trent Richardson and Mark Ingram. That will be the difference in a close, exciting game. Alabama 27 Arkansas 23.

3:30 ABC: Eastern Michigan at #2 Ohio State

Ohio State all day. Ohio State 43 Eastern Michigan 7.

3:30 ABC: UCLA at #7 Texas

Texas and QB Garrett Gilbert did not look good at all against Texas Tech last week. I expect the struggles to continue and I think this will be a closer game than what Longhorns fans want. Texas 17 UCLA 13

3:30 ABC: Wake Forest at Florida State

Wake Forest has won at Florida State the last two times in 2006 and 2008. That has to end this Saturday! CP7 will have 300+ yards and Florida State wins a shootout 38-30.

3:30 NBC: #16 Stanford at Notre Dame

Notre Dame does not stand a chance in this game. Bills fans you get to flip back and forth between this game and the Arkansas game and dream of Ryan Mallet and Andrew Luck. Jake Locker would be a nightmare. And oh let’s not forget Christian Ponder too. As for this game, like I said Stanford win easily. Stanford 38 Notre Dame 21.

6:00 ESPN2: #8 Oklahoma at Cincinnati

Will the Oklahoma team that barely beat Utah State and Air Force show up, or the team that annulated Florida State? I’ll take the blowout option here. Oklahoma big 41-14.

6:00: Nevada at BYU

This game is very intriguing because if Nevada can win this game they can be realistically be undefeated when they play home to Boise State on November 26th. BYU looked awful last week against Florida State. I think they will look awful this week. Nevada 33 BYU 16.

7:45 ESPN: #12 South Carolina at #17 Auburn

I’ll be very impressed if South Carolina stud freshman RB Marcus Lattimore and Coach Steve Spurrier can pull off the road win here. I don’t see it happening. I think Cam Newton will make some more great plays, like he did in the second half against Clemson last week. Auburn sweeps the two BCS South Carolina schools in back to back weeks. Auburn 27 South Carolina 21.

8:00 ABC: #24 Oregon State at #3 Boise State

Oregon State painted their practice field blue this week in anticipation for Boise State. To me this is over coaching. Forget about the field, the Beavers should worry about the crowd. This is the first time ever a Boise State home game will be on national network television. Plus it’s in primetime. Plus College Gameday is there. The atmosphere for this game will be electric. I don’t think Oregon State stands a chance. Kellen Moore will have a field day and Boise State wins 38-17.

Boise State will be rocking on primetime on ABC.

9:00 ESPN2: #22 West Virginia at #15 LSU

I really like LSU in this game. That crowd at night, and SEC vs. Big East is what I like about it. LSU 30 West Virginia 20.

10:30: Oregon at Arizona State

Oregon has looked good so far and I expect it to continue. They are just so fast on offense. Oregon 34 Arizona State 23.
