Here is a recap of Jimson's Top 10 Standings After Week 3 of the 2008 College Football season:
1. Florida Gators 2-0
2. Kansas Jayhawks 3-0
3. USC Trojans 2-0
4. Missouri Tigers 3-0
5. West Virginia Mountaineers 2-0
6. Oklahoma Sooners 3-0
7. Texas Longhorns 3-0
8. Clemson Tigers 3-0
9. Georgia Bulldogs 2-1
10. Arizona State Sun Devils 3-0
Now, it's time to move on to Week 4 of the 2008 College Football season.
Key Games in Week 4:
Georgia (2-1) @ Arizona State (3-0)
Arguably the game of the week, this SEC vs. Pac-10 showdown features two teams, who are both ranked in the Top 10.
After coming off a loss at South Carolina, the #9 Georgia Bulldogs are facing a second straight road test.
On the other hand, the #10 Arizona State Sun Devils are facing their first major test of the season, after starting the season with 3 straight easy home wins.
However, the Arizona State Sun Devils struggled against superior competition, during the 2007 College Football season.
I expect the Georgia Bulldogs to get back on their winning ways... They are just WAY TOO GOOD, to LOSE TWO STRAIGHT games.
Winner: Georgia
LSU (2-1) @ Auburn (2-1)
I really hate it when people label this series as a "rivalry. Seriously, is this series TRULY a rivalry?
I mean, the home team has WON EVERY game in this series, since 2000. (Just imagine if Ohio State NEVER won at Michigan... and Michigan NEVER won at Ohio State. Would it dilute the quality of that rivalry???)
Anyways, the Auburn Tigers are coming off a loss at Mississippi State... while the LSU Tigers seem to have things corrected, after an opening day loss AT HOME, to Appalachian State.
Look for the LSU Tigers to come away with a nice road win, while the Auburn Tigers continue to reel, losing their second straight game.
Winner: LSU
Boise State (2-0) @ Oregon (3-0)
This should be an interesting WAC vs. Pac-10 showdown. Both teams face their major test of the season, each entering this game with undefeated records.
However, I expect this to be the week that the Oregon Ducks will learn (the hard way)... just how much they miss Dennis Dixon.
The Boise State Broncos will leave Autzen Stadium with a huge road win, and a 3-0 start to the 2008 College Football season. Moreover, the Boise State Broncos should have an EXCELLENT chance to go UNDEFEATED during the regular season... IF they leave Oregon with a 3-0 record.
Winner: Boise State

although I do not agree with a good portion of your picks I have to give you a pat on the back for at least going against the norm and having the balls to pick a few upsets

Same here, although I do not think that Boise State will beat Oregon at Autzen. If it was in Boise, it might be a different story, but with three preseason all-americans (two on defense, one on offense) the duck's defense is just plain loaded, and won't go down without a huge fight. This game could be a highly contested, low scoring, or high if the ducks defense scores as many touchdowns as they did last year :)

But, I think that the defense MUST score MULTIPLE TOUCHDOWNS... IF Oregon is going to win this game. (At this point, I simply think that Oregon's offense is pretty anemic - without Dennis Dixon)!
But since Boise State is a WELL DISCIPLINED TEAM... I HIGHLY DOUBT that Boise State will give Oregon's defense the opportunity to score a touchdown, lol :)
