College Football Week 4 Recap

    After not being able to put up a recap for weeks 2 & 3, I have one for week 4. There were some good games with a lot of ranked teams going at it, and even a few upsets.

    The biggest and most exiting one was Texas A& M and Oklahoma State. Texas A& M went out to a huge lead at half and most people assumed Oklahoma State really was overrated. But next thing you know Oklahoma State had surged back and taken the lead, and stole the win from the Aggies on the same week A& M joined the SEC. Justin Blackmon again had a 100 yard receiving day for the Cowboys as they are sure to gain some spots in the ranks.

    Other big games were Florida State and Clemson. Clemson had just joined the Top 25 after beating Auburn, and Florida State had just lossed to Oklahoma. I had always thought Florida State was much overrated for their preseason ranking, and these two losses only proved it as the Seminoles fell to 2-2. Clemson is 4-0 for the first time since 2007.

    LSU blew out West Virginia but no surprise their, and Alabama took down Arkansas by a surprisingly high margin. A good weekend for college football to say the least.

    This weekend also has some good games between ranked opponents, as Alabama and Florida, Nebraska and Wisconsin, and Clemson and Virginia Tech play.

Game Of The Week


#9 Nebraska @ #6 Wisconsin


8:00 PM ET, ABC

Prediction: Wisconsin 32 Nebraska 24




Wisconsin wins this game due to the fact they are just a better team on offense and have a slight edge in defense. Russell Wilson is playing great football, and Wisconsin can run with anyone in the country. It will be close, and could be a high scoring affair or a low scoring one. But in the end the Badges spoil Nebraska's inaugural Big 10 game.
