NCAA Week 4 Review and Season Projections

Well usually I come out with the most disappointing team, most impressive, best team, worst team, best conference, worst conference, and Heisman contenders. I won't explain them that much, but I will list who I thought fit those categories this pass week. I'll do five for each category except for the conferences.

Best Team:
1. Alabama- The way they handled Arkansas in 2nd half showed they are the favorites.
2. Oregon- Didn't perform like they have been, but scored over 40 once again.
3. Boise State- Trick play never seem to fail for the Broncos, and you can never stop them.
4. Ohio State- Pryor had one of his best games in a Buckeye uniform.
5. Wisconsin- Blew out their opponent and look like they will compete with OSU.

Most Impressive
1. North Carolina State- I never would have thought that the Wolfpack would start the season off 4-0.
2. Michigan- No Denard Robinson? Michigan still scored over 40 points without him, and they are 4-0.
3. Toledo- Toledo went into Purdue territory this weekend and came out with a W against an average Big 10 team.
4. Miami(FL)- Pittsburgh has been struggling, but Miami blew them out despite contant interceptions by Harris.
5. Northwestern- No one has been talking about the wildcats this year, but they are undefeated too. Just like Michigan State.

Worst Team
1. New Mexico State (0-3)- The Aggies are 114th in both scoring offense and points against.
2. Western Kentucky (0-4)- 104th in scoring offence and 117th in points against. No luck for the Div.1 A newcomers.
3. New Mexico (0-4)- Possibly the worst team in college football with a rank of 119th in scoring offense and 120th in points against. The Lobos can't do anything.
4. Eastern Michigan (0-4)- Eastern Michigan is under the 100th mark in scoring offense so thats good, but they are second to last in defense.
5. Akron (0-4)- Another MAC team that looks like nothing this year.

Least Impressive
1. Texas- Losing to UCLA is not supposed to happen if you are Texas, even if you are in a down year.
2. Oklahoma- The Sooners are having the streched where they play really good then really bad. Not sure what to say.
3. Georgia- 0-3 in the SEC, the Bulldogs are not helping AJ Green's head right now losing all of these games.
4. Georgia Tech- Even without Dwyer the Yellow Jackets were supposed to be pretty good still, but loses to Kansas, and NC State diminish that a little.
5. Southern Cal- They are Southern Cal this year because South Carolina is better this year. The USC this year is doing alright, but Southern Cal is looking bad even though they are undefeated.

Most Impressive Conference
SEC West- Alabama and Arkansas both proved that they have really good clubs as they faced off against each other. Auburn took care of USC at home. LSU handeled West Virginia. Mississippi State beat down Georgia, and Ole Miss finially got a win against a pretty good Fresno State team.

Least Impressive Conference
SEC East- Going with the other side of the conference now. No they are not the worst conference, but they were one of the least impressive in Week 4. Instead of putting a conference with no relevance I put someting people will actually look at. Florida has been struggling, but they smothered Kentucky. Either Florida is back or Kentucky is really bad. South Carolina and Georgia were unable to come up with wins against the other side. Tennessee almost lost it, and maybe should have against UAB. Vanderbilt didn't do bad, of course they didn't play.
