Here are my picks for week four of the 2016 College Football season.
Thursday, September 22nd
(5) Clemson (3-0; 0-0) at Georgia Tech (3-0; 1-0)- 7:30, ESPN: This is a potential trap game for the Tigers, who has Louisville coming to their house next weekend so there is a lot of look ahead potential here. Expect the Yellow Jackets to keep it closer than the experts think, but DeSaun Watson will lead his team to a win.
Pick: Clemson
Friday, September 23rd
Wyoming (2-1; 0-0) at Eastern Michigan (2-1; 0-0)- 7:30, CBSSN
Pick: Wyoming
TCU (2-1; 1-0) at SMU (2-1; 0-0)- 8:00, ESPN
Pick: TCU
USC (1-2; 0-1) at (24) Utah (3-0; 0-0)- 9:00, FS1: This is a pretty big game in the Pac-12. Give me the unbeaten Utes at home.
Pick: Utah
Saturday, September 24th
Kent State (1-2; 0-0) at (1) Alabama (3-0; 1-0)- 12:00, SECN
Pick: Alabama
(12) Georgia (3-0; 1-0) at (23) Ole Miss (1-2; 0-1)- 12:00, ESPN: This is such a big game in the SEC. I feel that the Rebels are poised to bounce back from their tough loss against Alabama and Chad Kelly will lead them to a bounce back win.
Pick: Ole Miss
Nevada (2-1; 0-0) at Purdue (1-1; 0-0)- 12:00, ESPNEWS
Pick: Purdue
San Jose State (1-2; 0-0) at Iowa State (0-3; 0-1)- 12:00
Pick: Iowa State
Charlotte (1-2; 0-0) at Temple (1-2; 0-0)- 12:00, ESPN3
Pick: Temple
Iowa (2-1; 0-0) at Rutgers (2-1; 0-0)- 12:00, ESPN2: Don't be shocked if the Scarlet Knights keep it close in the second half.
Pick: Iowa
(13) Florida State (2-1; 0-1) at South Florida (3-0; 0-0)- 12:00, ABC: The Bulls will keep this interesting, but Dalvin Cook and the Seminoles will pull away late for a bounce back win.
Pick: Florida State
Colorado State (2-1; 0-0) at Minnesota (2-0; 0-0)- 12:00, ESPNU
Pick: Minnesota
(11) Wisconsin (3-0; 0-0) at (8) Michigan State (2-0; 0-0)- 12:00, BTN: We got a big one here in East Lansing and give me the home team to win.
Pick: Michigan State
East Carolina (2-1; 0-0) at Virginia Tech (2-1; 1-0)- 12:30, ACCN: The Pirates are an improved team and they'll keep it close, but Justin Fuente's squad will take this one.
Pick: Virginia Tech
Central Michigan (3-0; 0-0) at Virginia (0-3; 0-0)- 12:30, ESPN3
Pick: Central Michigan
Syracuse (1-2; 0-1) at Connecticut (2-1; 0-1)- 1:00, CBSSN: This wasn't an easy call by any stretch, but give me the Orange here to pull off a road upset.
Pick: Syracuse
Wagner (2-0; 0-0) at Boston College (1-2; 0-2)- 1:00, ACCN
Pick: Boston College
Gardner-Webb (1-2; 0-0) at Ohio (1-2; 0-0)- 2:00, ESPN3
Pick: Ohio
Miami (OH) (0-3; 0-0) at Cincinnati (2-1; 0-1)- 3:30, ESPNEWS
Pick: Cincinnati
Western Illinois (2-0; 0-0) at Northern Illinois (0-3; 0-0)- 3:30, ESPN3
Pick: Northern Illinois
Appalachian State (1-2; 0-0) at Akron (2-1; 0-0)- 3:30, ESPN3
Pick: Akron
Boise State (2-0; 0-0) at Oregon State (1-1; 0-0)- 3:30, FS1
Pick: Boise State
9/24- West Virginia (2-0; 0-0) vs BYU (1-2) 3:30, ESPN2: This game will be played in Landover, Maryland at FedEx Field. The fact that the Mountaineers have a home field advantage here since the game will be played in Maryland makes me give them the edge here.
Pick: West Virginia
Duke (1-2; 0-1) at Notre Dame (1-2) 3:30, NBC
Pick: Notre Dame
Mississippi State (1-2; 1-1) at Massachusetts (1-2) 3:30, ESPN3
Pick: Mississippi State
(13) Florida (3-0; 1-0) at (14) Tennessee (3-0; 0-0)- 3:30, CBS: This is a big one out in Knoxville. ESPN's College GameDay will be on hand for it as well. The Gators will be missing their quarterback Luke Del Rio due to a knee injury and the Vols will take advantage.
Pick: Tennessee
Pittsburgh (2-1; 0-0) at North Carolina (2-1; 0-0)- 3:30, ESPNU: This game could possibly decide the Coastal Division in the ACC. Give me the Tar Heels at home.
Pick: North Carolina
UTSA (1-2; 0-0) at Old Dominion (1-2; 0-0)- 3:30, KMYS/WTVZ
Pick: Old Dominion
Penn State (2-1; 0-0) at (4) Michigan (3-0; 0-0)- 3:30, ABC: Don't be surprised if the Nittany Lions keep it close, but the Wolverines pull away late.
Pick: Michigan
Wake Forest (3-0; 1-0) at Indiana (2-0; 0-0)- 3:30, BTN: This game could very well have bowl game implications. Give me the Hoosiers at home.
Pick: Indiana
Delaware State (0-2; 0-0) at Missouri (1-2; 0-1)- 4:00, SECN
Pick: Missouri
Vanderbilt (1-2; 0-1) at Western Kentucky (2-1; 1-0)- 4:30, CBSSN

Pick: Tulsa
Colorado (2-1; 0-0) at Oregon (2-1; 0-0)- 5:30, Pac-12N
Pick: Oregon
(18) LSU (2-1; 1-0) at Auburn (1-2; 0-1)- 6:00, ESPN: Here's a battle of coaches on the hot seat, which is known as a "loser leaves town" match. I say Les Miles survives this battle.
Pick: LSU
Ball State (2-1; 0-0) at Florida Atlantic (1-2; 0-0)- 6:00, C.USA-tv
Pick: Florida Atlantic
North Texas (1-2; 0-0) at Rice (0-3; 0-1)- 6:00, C.USA-tv

Pick: Troy
Nicholls State (1-1; 0-1) at South Alabama (1-2; 0-2)- 7:00, ESPN3
Pick: South Alabama
Georgia Southern (3-0; 2-0) at Western Michigan (3-0; 0-0)- 7:00, ESPN3

UCF (1-2; 0-0) at FIU (0-3; 0-0)- 7:00, beIN
Pick: FIU
Louisiana Tech (1-2; 0-0) at Middle Tennessee (2-1; 0-0)- 7:00, ASN
Pick: Middle Tennessee
Army (3-0) at Buffalo (0-2; 0-0)- 7:00, ESPN3
Pick: Army
Missouri State (2-0; 0-0) at Kansas State (1-1; 0-0)- 7:10, K-State.tv
Pick: Kansas State
(20) Nebraska (3-0; 0-0) at Northwestern (1-2; 0-0)- 7:30, BTN
Pick: Nebraska
Oklahoma State (2-1; 0-0) at (16) Baylor (3-0; 0-0)- 7:30, FOX: This is a big game in the Big-12. Give me Seth Russell and the Bears at home.
Pick: Baylor
South Carolina (2-1; 1-1) at Kentucky (1-2; 0-1)- 7:30, SECN
Pick: South Carolina
(7) Stanford (2-0; 1-0) at UCLA (2-1; 0-0)- 8:00, ABC: This should be a fun star-studded matchup in primetime with two possible Heisman candidates in Stanford's Christian McCaffrey and UCLA's Josh Rosen. McCaffrey shines in big spotlights like this so give me the Cardinal to get a big road win at the Rose Bowl.
Pick: Stanford
(3) Louisville (3-0; 2-0) at Marshall (1-1; 0-0)- 8:00, CBSSN: The Thundering Herd aren't as bad as they looked last weekend against Akron, so this is a potential trap game for new Heisman favorite Lamar Jackson and the Cardinals as they have Clemson next week in Death Valley. Give me Jackson and the Cardinals to pull away late.
Pick: Louisville
Bowling Green (1-2; 0-0) at Memphis (2-0; 0-0)- 8:00, ESPNEWS
Pick: Memphis
Louisiana-Lafayette (2-1; 1-0) at Tulane (1-2; 0-1)- 8:00, ESPN3

Idaho (1-2; 0-0) at UNLV (1-2; 0-0)- 9:00, MW Digital
Pick: UNLV
(17) Arkansas (3-0; 0-0) vs (10) Texas A&M (3-0; 1-0)- 9:00, ESPN: This game will be played at AT&T Stadium aka Jerry World in Arlington, Texas. This is a big SEC West game, but give me Trevor Knight and the Aggies because they're going to have a home field advantage.
Pick: Texas A&M
California (2-1; 0-0) at Arizona State (3-0; 0-0)- 10:00, ESPN2: Both of these teams have looked pretty good so far, so this turns out to a big game. Give me the Sun Devils at home.
Pick: Arizona State
Air Force (2-0; 0-0) at Utah State (2-1; 0-0)- 10:15, ESPNU
Pick: Air Force
(9) Washington (3-0; 0-0) at Arizona (2-1; 0-0)- 10:30, FS1: The Wildcats will keep it close, but the Huskies are the better team so they'll get the road win.
