ALMOST made the cut...

#18 Utah at California (Should be great game, but if Bears are on slate again this week, some might think I have a Cal infatuation... I DON'T)

Missouri at LSU (first game post-Mad Hatter Era... some Pack Backers want Les?)

#14 Miami at Georgia Tech (not as sexy of an ACC game as it looks)

Arizona State at USC (Trojans might be best 1-3 team in country)

Memphis at Mississippi (Tigers are 3-0 with Justin Fuente leftovers)

Kansas State at West Virginia (Just another classic Big 12 - 2 game)

WEEK #4 GAMES: 2016 College Football Challenge (sponsored privately by Russell & Ciara Wilson)

Will Rocky Top snap 11 game skid vs. Gator Nation this weekend?

___________________________________________

ALMOST made the cut...

USC at #24 Utah (Trojans desperately need win vs. undefeated Utes. I don't like Friday games) 
#5 Clemson at Georgia Tech (This game LOOKS much sexier than it actually is this year)
#13 tFSU at USF (Da Bulls are 3-0 and crowd will be pumped. Jimbo will have Noles ready)
#7 Stanford at UCLA (Trees should get W in second straight weekend vs. school from LA)
Colorado at Oregon (Might be most entertaining game of weekend nobody is talkin' about)
#9 Washington at Arizona (Sneaky sucker game. Huskies might be for real, but creampuff schedule thus far)

ALMOST made the cut...

UCLA at BYU (Sorry, Jazzy Jeff... maybe I should rethink the Triangle Area team requirement?)
USC at Stanford (Trojans have the talent to beat Trees, but Alabama game says otherwise)
Texas A&M at Auburn (Trying to decide if AU close loss to Clemson was mirage. CU struggled w/ Troy)
