Quick College Football thoughts....

Heading into a pretty good week 4 schedule......

1. College Game Day is a snoozer this week.  Sorry Game Day, but you heading to Rutgers/Arkansas is pathetic.  Three premier top 25 matchups and you choose this snoozer over all of them?  I realize they're not on your network but get real.  RU 27 Ark 26

2. Michigan has a chance against Notre Dame.  I'm not suggesting it's a big chance but, Shoelace has been much faster than ND in the past and has given them issues.  If Michigan's defense can just rise to the D-1 level they can win this game.  That said. ND 24 UM 21.

3. Clemson has a chance at Fl. St. this week. I'm still not sold on the Seminoles but will be if they beat Clemson.  I've told Fl. State to call me after they've beaten someone.  Clemson is someone. FSU 27 Clem 20

4. K-State has a chance against OU.  That the game is in Norman gives the Sooners an edge but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the Wildcats are the more physical team in this game.  KSU 17 OU 14

5. Arizona has no chance against Oregon.  O 47 AU 15

6.  Alabama and LSU could each score 100 if they decided to.

7. USC/California is the sleeper game of the week.  USC 31 Cal 30  I was wrong by the way, Layne Kiffen could mess up even with THAT much talent.

8. Rice beats Memphis!!! Rice beats Memphis!!!  Rice 28 Memphis 7.....Oh, wait, they play MARSHALL.  Oops.  Marshall 27 Rice 13

9. In the Southern Miss/Western Kentucky tie watch defensive end Dwayne Montgomery. (#99)  He's a redshirt Freshman who looked dominating at times.....against Alabama.  Don't overlook the Hilltoppers here for the mild upset.  SMU 28 WKU 24

And finally.....

10. Breathe easy UH Cougar fans, you have a week off to lick your wounds before the (now annual) beating by Rice at Reliant takes place.  Consider this as well:  UNT hung in there with K-State last week, so they might not be as bad as advertised.  0-5 to start the season anyone?  UAB is terrible, possibly worse than the Cougars, so that should be a win.  Then I struggle to find another win the rest of the season until you get to Tulane.  2-10 should get your coaches fired.  Especially with that talent.
