College Football Predictions Week #4

Does this scene look familiar? For Alabama and Arkansas fans alike, this picture bring backs either fond or painful memories. Unranked Alabama knocked off #16 ranked Arkansas in one of the final plays of the game. With this, I introduce, week #4. This week has some intriguing match-ups. Namely the Bayou Bengals vs. the Tiger/Plainsmen/War Eagles of Auburn who scored a whopping 3 points against the MSU Bulldogs. In addition, the ACC (aka the please wake me up when it's over conference). Has a crucial game between the Tar Heels of UNC vs. the Hokies of Virginia Tech. Now, UNC looks a hell of a lot better than the Hokies do, and they are playing in Chapel Hill. Still, I do not have faith in Butch to pull this one out. Either way it's going to be the best glorified pillow-fight of the week! 

Now, this is the real "dormant" week, the calm before the storm. Why? Because (hopefully) next week will be a clash of the titans Georgia vs. Alabama. I am rooting for both of them to take this week by storm and look excellent for the best SEC match-up of the season. Maybe the best NCAA match-up of the season to date. Because, if it was anything like last year, it's going to be a outright war between the hedges at Georgia, and the esteemed author of this blog will be there rooting for the Tide.

Last week was not a good week for me, I went 10-6 and lost some of my lead in the standings. However, Colorado winning last night prevented me from going 0-2. This is a big weekend for picks and I am ready to watch some football. Here's a look at my teams in action, and some guest visitors will be in the mix this week.

My Teams in Action
Virginia Tech @ North Carolina: Go Hokies!
Alabama @ Arkansas: Roll Tide!
