Predicting Every Single FBS College Football Game: Week Four

Week three was just plain weird in college football. Lots of bizarre and close games throughout the weekend, which resulted in me having my worst week yet. My record for week three predictions: 43-15 (74.13% of games picked correctly). My picks for week three can be found by clicking here. My record for the season: 176-40. So I’m happy with my overall record. I think half of my losses have come from games involving Sun Belt teams. Thanks Sun Belt! And the Big Ten hasn’t helped me with my picks either, so this week I didn’t pick as many Big Ten teams to win. I’m dreading picking the conference games, especially the Big Ten West. There’s still a lot of college football season left, but teams are starting to give a picture of what kind of team they have. For example, I’m not picking Vanderbilt for the rest of the year. They’re just horrible. Ditto for Kansas. And Michigan doesn’t look too good either. I better stop before I get on a roll. Let’s take a look at week four…

  1. Going with the WV upset pick? That’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see how it turns out!

    • Haha, I love that movie. Yes I think WVU has what it takes to pull it off, especially since the game is in Morgantown and the Mountaineers have played them close the last two years.
