Pat’s POV: Week 4 predictions for the College Wire matchups

Week 4 predictions from College Wire’s Patrick Conn.

There are plenty of big games happening around the college football landscape in Week 4.

For the Ohio State Buckeyes, they will host the Wisconsin Badgers in a cross-divisional matchup. The Big Ten East-West matchup could be a sign of things to come as far as the conference championship. There is still a lot of college ball left to play before we have a clear picture.

Other big matchups this week feature the No. 22 Florida Gators taking on the No. 12 Tennessee Vols in Knoxville. This will be the 52nd time they will meet with the Gators winning the last five games.

This week also features a big SEC matchup on a neutral site when the No. 20 Texas A&M Aggies and No. 10 Arkansas Razorbacks collide at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Last week College Wire regional editor Patrick Conn finished 17-4 with his game picks and is 53-13 overall.

Without further ado, let’s dive into this week’s slate of games with predictions for each matchup.

Texas A&M-Miami among the most intriguing Week 3 matchups

A look at 12 of the most intriguing matchups during week 3 across the college football landscape.

With the first three weeks of college football action firmly in the rearview mirror, we are shifting our sights to Week 3. There are plenty of games to keep an eye on, especially after what has transpired to begin the season.

Appalachian State gave North Carolina all it could handle and then defeated Texas A&M in College Station. They made the list again this week, after their victory over the Aggies ESPN announced that College Game Day will head to Boone for their matchup with Troy.

With that being said let’s dive into this week’s list of intriguing matchups in college football.

Honorable Mention:

Kansas Jayhawks at Houston Cougars

It isn’t very often that the Kansas Jayhawks are featured in a list of intriguing games but this isn’t your typical Big 12 basement dweller. They are coming off a huge road victory over West Virginia. On the flip side, the Houston Cougars are coming off a demoralizing double-overtime loss at Texas Tech where they needed to stop the Red Raiders on 4th and 20 to win the game. It didn’t happen. Can Houston win this contest and avoid a third-straight game going to the extra period?

Florida State Seminoles at Louisville Cardinals

This game features a pair of head coaches that appeared on multiple hot seat coaching lists to begin the season. Florida State’s Mike Norvell and Louisville’s Scott Satterfield are looking to quiet the noise in this game. FSU shocked many when they defeated LSU in New Orleans and Louisville is coming off the 20-14 win over Central Florida. The Seminoles have had two weeks to prepare, so who shines brightest under the ‘Friday Night Lights’?

The rest of the list is broken down by kick off times:

Ranking college football’s top quarterbacks in 2022

A look at the top 10 quarterbacks ahead of the 2022 college football season.

This time next week we will be preparing for the first college football games of the season as week 0 kicks off. The Alabama Crimson Tide won’t officially kick it off until the following week.

As we continue to preview the upcoming college football campaign, it is time to look into the best players by position ahead of 2022. As always Alabama is among the teams with a top quarterback. Last year Bryce Young took home the prestigious Heisman Memorial Trophy but did he take the top spot in the QB rankings?

Roll Tide Wire and the Alabama faithful should be happy with how these rankings shake out as I break down my top 10 quarterbacks.
