NCAA Football - Week 4 Predictions

Ringer's Record
Last Week ATS: 7-15
Last Week SU: 17-5

Season ATS: 26-40 (39%)
Season SU: 56-10 (85%)

Just like Matt Barkley and the USC Trojans, I came into this season with a lot of hype and expected to carry a championship caliber record. And just like Matt Barkley and the USC Trojans did to Stanford, I have fallen flat on my face early in the year. Last year at this time I boasted a 63% winning percentage, while this year I am struggling at just 38%. There are some big time games this week to help me rebound. There are 4 games featuring ranked opponents facing off. The biggest game of all is in Tallahassee as the #5 Florida State Seminoles host the #9 Clemson Tigers. Here is how I expect Week 4 of the college football season to unfold. (Rankings based on the Ringer Poll)
