Week 4 College Football Predictions

Week 3 is in the books! Welcome to Pypeline’s Week 4 college football predictions. I’ll predict every game, big or small. Last week, I gave you three teams on upset alert: Maryland, Colorado, and USC. And all three lost. So this is the place to be for insight and predictions.

As always, join us before kickoff on twitter. We’ll talk about the match-ups, answer any fantasy questions, and get you ready for an action-packed day of football. And check out my 10 picks against the spread at the end, because who doesn’t love watching college football AND making money?
