College Football Week 4 Preview

Games to watch
Week four brings us a match up of two high powered offenses going head to head as #22 Arizona goes into Eugene to face #3 Oregon in what should be a detailed clinic in the "spread" offense. This game has the potential to be the most entertaining game of the weekend if you consider the fact that these to teams combine for an average of 1,200 yards per game and over 100 points. Really, those are actually numbers. Not play station stats. Look them up. Throw in Oregon's uniform combinations and this one should be fun to watch. Take the over on the points, even though it will probably be like 70 it's a safe bet. A couple hours before this highlight reel #4 Florida St. hopes to keep its national title hopes alive when #10 Clemson goes to Tallahassee. This is considered the marquee game because some have the Seminoles pegged for a spot in the BCS title game. I am not one of them but none the less it has the making of being a very good football game. Around the same time you have #6 Oklahoma taking on #15 Kansas St. in Norman. Last season the Sooner's won by 41 points. It may a little closer tomorrow, but not by much. Then there is #11 Notre Dame trying to kept all the early season optimism rolling against #18 Michigan. This should be a back and fourth game that will make any college football fan appreciate the rivalry. You have a few others that could be watch worthy depending on which teams decide to show up. #7 South Carolina and new SEC East opponent Missouri, #13 USC taking out frustrations on rival Cal, and #2 LSU putting Gene Chizick one step closer to the unemployment line at Auburn.

Games not to watch
Obviously there are several but lets look at few that don't deserve to be discussed in depth unless you are a compulsive gambler. #1 Alabama has more talent than FAU, probably on there coed flag football team. Vanderbilt will "anchor down" and get rolled by #5 Georgia and afterwords James Franklin will still talk about how this " isn't the same old Vandy". Yes it is James. The only difference is you saying it's not.
You have #14 Florida matched up with a Kentucky team that couldn't get to 6 wins if they played in the MAC the rest of the season. Even Billy Gillespie laughs at UK. Add any Big East game to this list.

Players to watch
Braxton Miller, OSU.
Kid is the Buckeyes do everything, and so far he has done everything really really good
Denard Robinson, UM
He accounts for like, all of Michigan's offense. Literally
De'Athony Thomas, Oregon
Another year, another trillion yard rusher for the Ducks. And probably a new uniform.

Players not to watch
Add any Big East player to this list

Games to bet the farm on
Georgia -14.5. You should "anchor down" a Brinks truck on this one.
Rutgers +9.5. How can Arkansas be favored in any game right now, even with Tyler Wilson this is a lock
USC +16. The Trojans will run up the score and Matt Barkley should have 15 TD passes. By halftime.
