NCAA Week Five Picks

September is about to wrap up already and College Football is about to get serious. I went 10-3 in Big Ten games this year, but really, who saw Indiana beating Missouri? Ha screw you SEC. I also went 3-0 outside the Big Ten.

39-11 Big Ten
1-0 Exclusive Big Ten
7-5 Outside Big Ten

Some Week Four Observations
1. A couple more really good upsets or close calls this week. The aforementioned Indiana, Washington St and Clemson came Oh so close, and Mississippi St layed a beat down on LSU.
2. Oklahoma might be the most impressive team in September. But theyve been the most impressive September team several times before only to scuffle down the stretch.
3. Many don't, but I really do believe Oregon will lose at least one, maybe even two games this year. They are prone to bad stretches due to inexperience, and their defense remains suspect.
4. What I just said about Oregon, I believe the exact same about Alabama.
5. South Carolina continues to be really bad, save for one game against Georgia which has temporarily kept their season alive.
6. Is their any doubt offense is king? Wisconsin set a Big Ten rushing record, Alabama racked up over 600 yards of offense, and several top 25 teams put up 40 or more against good opposition.
7. East Carolina is a good team, and nobody is noticing. A week after beating Virginia Tech, they scored 70 against a previously ranked North Carolina team.
8. My final four remains the same: Bama, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Florida St
