NCAA Week 4 Picks

I went 8-2 in Picking Big Ten games this week, 1-0 in exclusive Big Ten Games, and 1-2 outside the Big Ten.

29-8 in Big Ten Games
1-0 exclusive Big Ten Games
4-5 Outside Big Ten

Some observations from Week 3

1. I talked about how horrendous last week was for the Big Ten, and this week was pretty much another disaster. Iowa got upset by Iowa State, Indiana lost to Bowling Green, Minnesota got embarrassed by TCU, Illinois got embarrassed by Washington, and Maryland lost to West Virginia.
2. It was the first "upset Saturday" of the year, and considering we hardly got any last year, it was a welcome sight. Among the upsets that changed the landscape were South Carolina beating Georgia, Boston College knocking off USC, East Carolina beating Virginia Tech, and Virginia knocking off Louisville.
3. UCLA continues to be a dissapointment, barely knocking off a Texas team that just got throttles by BYU. Thats 3 close calls now against bad opponents for a team that was supposed to break out this year.
4. Georgia is not done yet, but they may not be able to afford any more losses, and with games against Auburn, Missouri and Florida on the docket yet, that could be very difficult to pull off.
5. My Top 4 after 3 weeks are 1. Oklahoma Vs 4 Alabama and 2 Oregon Vs 3 Florida St

A lot of teams teams had bye weeks or cupcake opponents this week so the observations this week are minimal. Onto next weeks Picks
