College Football Week 4: Top 5 Games to bet on: FSU/Clem, Colo/Oregon, ND/OSU, Ala/OLE MISS, Iowa/Penn State

Publish Date: 09/19/2023
Fact checked by: Simon Briffa

Week 4

1) Florida State vs. Clemson

Jordan Travis rallied Florida State late in last season’s 34-28 loss against Clemson this season, they have a chance to break Clemson’s seven-game win streak in this series. Clemson has allowed only 52.1% completion rates against them, so Travis will need to connect well with his receivers; on the other hand, Cade Klubnik boasts a 38.2% completion percentage when under pressure, so his accuracy must not be compromised against Clemson’s pass rush. Pick: Florida State 27  Clemson 20!

2) Colorado vs Oregon

This spread could be high due to Colorado being without Travis Hunter after he was knocked out of Week 3’s match against Colorado State due to an illegal hit. Oregon will provide Colorado with their toughest test yet as their odefense allows an average of five yards per carry. Meanwhile, Deion Sanders takes his first loss as head coach. Pick Oregon 45  Colorado 27.

3) Ohio State vs. Notre Dame

Given Ohio State’s offense in Week 3, with Kyle McCord now as its starting quarterback, we expected this line to be higher. Ohio State had won its previous six meetings (including two bowl games) against Notre Dame by an average margin of 14.5 points per game – until Sam Hartman changed everything, and Notre Dame became known for its big-play passing attack under its new quarterback. But will they make enough plays against an improved Buckeye defense which allows only 6.7 points per game? Pick Notre Dame 34  Ohio State 31.

4) Iowa vs. Penn State

In recent history, Penn State may have lost both meetings against Iowa. Still, this team presents a different picture with Drew Allar as starting quarterback and an effective defense limiting opponents to only 3.1 yards per rush in three games- Penn State appears ready for this matchup. Pick Penn State 31  Iowa 16.

5) OLE Miss vs. Alabama

Nick Saban still hasn’t found the right quarterback, which showed in their 17-3 victory against South Florida. Ole Miss is tempting as Lane Kiffin has their offense rolling, and Jaxson Dart has amassed a 202.5 efficiency rating – only six other FBS quarterbacks can match it! Why are we taking Ole Miss here instead of picking Alabama? I’m not, I think Bama wins but doesn’t cover. Pick Alabama 24  OLE MISS 21
