Crazy plays, upsets, surprises are the best words to describe week 4 of the college football season. Tulane had a crazy play that resulted in a win on Thursday night. Utah went to Los Angeles and got stunned by USC. California snuck out a win in the balmy southeast portion of the country. UCF (one loss in the last two seasons, including bowl games) got stunned by Pittsburgh. Notre Dame lost a hard fought battle in Athens to Georgia. That was week 4 in a nutshell. Now onto my weekly playoff update.

Things to Watch/Upset Watch
How does Virginia go into South Bend at 4-0 and play against a one loss Notre Dame team who may be beat up after a physical battle with Georgia. The USC/Washington game is a sneaky pick for a thriller. What does Bo Nix (Auburn QB) do in his SEC home opener.
Game of the Week
Ohio State vs Nebraska 6:30 ABC (Pick: Ohio State)
This game has UPSET written all over it. We know Ohio State loses one game every year that they should win by 20+ points. Nebraska is a program on the rise. I think knowing this, Ohio State is not looking ahead. This is not Purdue. This is a team that can challenge the Buckeyes and test them. Expect a close game throughout and Ohio State pulls away late to win by 10-14 points.
Looking forward to a great week 5 of college football. Have a magical day and we will SEE YA! real soon.
