Last week: 15-4
Overall (Weeks 3 & 4): 29-8 (.783% correct)
#25 Fresno State at UCLA, Saturday, 3:30 PM ET
Point Spread: Fresno State -7
Fresno State has been deserving of a Top 25 spot so far, beating Rutgers and Toledo and only losing to #9 Wisconsin by 3 at home. UCLA beat Tennessee in the opener but was blown out by #11 BYU 59-0 and then was beaten 31-10 by Arizona at home last Saturday. At best, UCLA is the 7th-best team in the Pac-10 and maybe even 8th-best. Fresno State should have no trouble here.
Prediction: Fresno State 37, UCLA 23
Houston at #23 East Carolina, Saturday, 3:30 PM ET
Point Spread: East Carolina -11
Houston has had a rough start to the year, going 1-3 with their only win coming against FCS team Southern 55-3. East Carolina beat two Top 25 teams to start off the year and escaped with a win over Tulane but had their BCS dreams most likely crushed last Saturday by NC State in a 30-24 loss, thanks to a mind-boggling coaching decision by ECU coach Skip Holtz to go for a TD on 4th and goal at the NC State 1 instead of kicking the field goal to give ECU a seven-point lead. ECU will rebound well from the debacle last week and will be able to handle Case Keenum and the Houston offense.
Prediction: East Carolina 35, Houston 17
Weber State at #17 Utah, Saturday, 8:00 PM ET
Point Spread: No Line
Weber State is an FCS school that is 3-1 with its only loss coming to FBS school Hawaii, and Weber State actually led early on. Utah is 4-0 with their latest win coming in a 30-23 thriller at Air Force. Utah will have no problems at all in this breeze of a game.
Prediction: Utah 54, Weber State 7
Navy at #16 Wake Forest, Saturday, 3:45 PM ET
Point Spread: Wake Forest -16
Navy has had an alright start to the year, losing to Duke and Ball State but beating Rutgers 23-21. Wake Forest is 3-0 with their biggest win coming against Florida State, 12-3. If Navy gets the running game going early (specifically getting Shun White some running room) then Wake could be in trouble. This one will be closer than everyone thinks, but Wake will still win.
Prediction: Wake Forest 38, Navy 30
Tennessee at #15 Auburn, Saturday, 3:30 PM ET
Point Spread: Auburn -7
Tennessee has been a disappointment so far at 1-2, losing to UCLA and Florida (handily to UF, I might add) and only beating UAB. Auburn has played decently, going 3-1 with their only loss to #5 LSU but not finding much offense. Many people are expecting UT to just lay down for Auburn after last week's blowout, but this is an angry Tennessee team looking to take out their anger on someone. This Auburn team could be the recipient. Tennessee will finally find some success this year and pull the upset on Auburn.
Prediction: Tennessee 24, Auburn 20
Minnesota at #14 Ohio State, Saturday, Noon ET
