Week Four – College Football
Week Three was dubbed “Separation Saturday” by all of the big media outlets, but, sadly, only really three of the games lived up to the billing. Oklahoma-Oregon, Tennessee-Florida and especially LSU Auburn were the exceptions to this. As has been the norm for the past few years, a few of these games were not without their controversy and blown calls. Thankfully another week of college football is upon us. The Big Ten, Big East and Big XII conference schedules begins this week, while some of the SEC heavyweights take a week from conference competition.
As always, all rankings are from the ESPN.com Scoreboard page. The betting lines (used sorely for the basis of predictions) are from Yahoo.com. I will list any games of interest (FReepmail me if you want your team included and I will include them from here on out) and any other games listed in my Yahoo league. I have a new feature this week. In each game that I do not have any confidence, or any game that I think a team could have an unexpected struggle, I will post a picture of a landmine 
for illustration.
GAME of the WEEK
Saturday, September 23rd, 2006 – 3:30 PM on FSN (Subject to change)
(20) Arizona St. at (22) Cal (-7.5)
This happens to be a make or break game for Cal. For a team that was a sleeper pick to be in the national title game, having 2 losses coming out of September would be a major disappointment. Now for Arizona St, this is a yardstick game. They will be able to see where they stand with one of the supposed elites of the Pac-10. Look for Cal to try to stop the passing attack of ASU and look for ASU to try to hit Cal as much as possible, which is exactly what Tennessee did. The betting line just doesn’t look quite right to me. It will be closer than a TD.
Cal 33 – ASU 30
Thursday September 21st, 2006 (ESPN Thursday Night Game)
Virginia at Georgia Tech (-17)
Virginia is a major disappointment this year. Georgia Tech had a shot to beat Notre Dame and be easily in the top 15 had they done so (given that they would be 3-0 at this point).

That isn't a reflection on how good FSU isn't, but it is a reflection on how bad Rice is....

The landmine pic was a nice touch until the blinking made my eyes explode.

I'll be there rooting on the Number One Team in this great nation.
The Team from the Heartland: The Ohio State Buckeyes.
To: Zuben Elgenubi
Who is Number One???
Well, The Ohio State Buckeyes
To: MikefromOhio
Hawaii at (25) Boise State (-14.5)Boise St. 52 – Hawaii 27
BSU may end up winning by even more than that. Boise's almost unbeatable on "the Blue" and Hawaii consistently struggles away from the islands. And as well as Boise State's defense has been playing, I don't see Hawaii scoring 27 points.
This does set up the big showdown next weekend (which I'll be in attendance for) for Boise State vs. UTAH!!

My first request....hope it pans out....
UTEP (-9.5) at New Mexico
Games like these are fun. Both schools are in the top 20 nationally in passing yards per game. That should probably equal plenty of points. I like UTEP due to their experience and their quarterback (didn't his brother go to USC or something??).
UTEP 49 - UNM 24

To: MikefromOhio
She by chance a linebacker for OSU or something like that so at least you can watch the game live?
To: Zuben Elgenubi
LOL

I actually had tickets for this game but had to give them up....
I'll have a small radio in my coat pocket with an earpiece and my dad is bringing his small TV to we can watch the game...

And Georgia Tech opens the scoring with a ridiculously easy looking TD run by Reggie Ball.
GT 7 - Virginia 0
