Still a lot of tough out of conference opponents in week four. Here are my week for Sunbelt predictions:
Troy @ Georgia 52-10
Texas State @ Illinois 45-24
Georgia State @ Washington 42-10
App State @ Southern Miss 35-31
Idaho @ Ohio 24-17
Utah State @ Arkansas State 35-21
Georgia Southern @ South Alabama 24-20
New Mexico @ New Mexico State 35-31
Louisiana @ Boise State 42-28
Troy at Georgia: Anti Depression med sales, and 2009 football season DVD sales sky rocket in Troy as the quaint little community is rocked by something rarely seen in those parts. An 0-4 football team. Georgia 52 Troy 7
Texas State at Illinois: Texas State fans should be heading into this game fairly confident that they stand a good shot at making this a game heading into the 4th against a bad Illinois team. Unfortunately, Dennis Franchione still calls the plays. Illinois 38 Texas State 21
Georgia State at Washington: Things you should know about this game: Eastern Washington threw a half gazillion touchdown passes on Washington, and still lost. Unfortunately for Georgia State...their defense is probably worse than EWU's. Washington 52 Georgia State 24
Appalachian State at Southern Miss: In the old days, suspected witches were weighted down by rocks and thrown into the ocean. If they floated...they were a witch. Rumor has it that Ellis Johnson was a full believer in that tried and true practice. He tied the Southern Miss football program to a bunch of rocks and threw it into the Gulf of Mexico. Guess what, the Southern Miss football program is not a witch! We are saved everyone...Repent of your sins! App State 28 USM 21
Idaho at Ohio: Vandals showed sings of life in Monroe...only to come up listless against Western Michigan. We call it, Freshman QB Syndrome. A Most grievous infliction earmarked by the hallmarks of mistakes. Turnovers. Ohio 24 Idaho 21
Utah State at Arkansas State: Its a cross out in Jonesboro. Wear your cross shirt, go have a prayer meeting at the stadium, then watch some football. Seriously...that's what's going to happen. As for the game. Neither team has beaten a bowl team in regular season OOC play in quite a while. That changes this Saturday. Arkansas State 31 Utah State 24
Louisiana Lafayette at Boise State: Despite Bryan Harsin's many attempts to give the game to the Cajuns by running the ball up the middle 9 straight plays, the Cajuns Defense has more holes than a slice of Swiss Cheese, and Terrance Broadway still has the yips. Boise State 38 Cajuns 17.
New Mexico at New Mexico State: Two Instate schools playing each other. Don't they know that both programs are certain to be doomed because there is no way to claim superiority over someone when you play them all the time. Recruiting advantages folks. Full truth here...Loser is in a pickle. Fortunately, Aggies always beat Lobo's in a mascot challenge. NMSU 35 UNM 31
Georgia Southern at South Alabama: Its the BIG ONE Folks. Can Georgia Southern compete in the grand ole SBC. Can Eagles fans prove to the SBC...Nay...the World that they are going to dominate us all? Inquiring minds want to know. Unfortunately for Georgia Southern though. The Real South Alabama shows up, and despite a valiant effort from the Little Engine That Could, The Jags are too much. South Alabama 27 Georgia Southern 20
