Week 4 Predictions

Rough week with my picks as I went 11-7, bringing my season record to 30-18 (.625). Hopefully these 19 picks are better:

Thursday, 9/20
#39 Texas A&M-14 @ NR Miami (FL)-17 (As usual Miami wins ugly. Technically an upset.)

Friday, 9/21
#3 Oklahoma-44 @ #28 Tulsa-24 (Home game against in-state rival should make for a competitive game until the second half.)

Saturday, 9/22
NR East Carolina-21 @ #4 West Virginia-41
NR Illinois-27 @ #44 Indiana-38 (The Hoosiers improve their record to 4-0 in what is fast becoming a magical season following the death this summer of head coach Terry Hoeppner.)
#5 Florida-49 @ NR Mississippi-21
NR Wyoming-12 @ #37 Ohio-20
#50 Air Force-24 @ #42 Utah-21 (Two weeks ago, Air Force beat Utah, which beat UCLA last week. Look for them to go 4-0 here.)
#43 Michigan State-30 @ NR Notre Dame-10 (The train wreck continues.)
#9 Penn State-30 @ NR Michigan-27 (Morelli MUST come up big with PSU's running game in limbo. Defense must also step up after giving up 24 to Buffalo. I see Michigan going up two scores early before Penn State realizes they are a better team and eventually wins.)
#38 Texas Tech-34 @ Oklahoma State-38 (After an embarrassing loss at Troy last week, Bobby Reid and Adarius Bowman must win this game to show they're worth.)
#26 Georgia-24 @ #35 Alabama-30 (Wow #16 in the AP? Alabama is overrated now, but I like them winning again.)
#21 Kentucky-28 @ #24 Arkansas-35 (This is a toss-up. John Madden says go with the home team.)
NR Marshall-9 @ #40 Cincinnati-52 (Marshall lost a home game to New Hampshire last week. 'Nuff said.)
NR Washington State-13 @ #2 USC-38
NR Iowa-21 @ #7 Wisconsin-28 (Neither team will look like they want to win, but the Badgers will prevail.)
#16 South Carolina-17 @ #1 LSU-45 (Not as close as the experts think. LSU proves their #1 rank.)
#46 Oregon State-31 @ #34 Arizona State-35
#47 Washington-17 @ #30 UCLA-16 (Not sure if the Bruins can bounce back after losing 44-6.)
I-AA Charleston Southern-3 @ #16 Hawaii-70 (Blowout of the week!)
