KSL.com Staff Reveal Their College Football Picks for Exciting Week 4 Matchups
SALT LAKE CITY — As college football heads into Week 4, KSL.com’s staff provides their latest game predictions for a highly anticipated slate of college football contests.
The weekend kickoff will see the Utah State Aggies traveling to Philadelphia to face a struggling Temple team that is still searching for its first win of the season. Despite Temple’s winless status, Aggies fans remain optimistic following a much improved showing against Utah last week. Many expect Utah State to continue its momentum on the road.
One of the marquee matchups features No. 12 Utah starting their Big 12 conference play on the road in a showdown against No. 14 Oklahoma State. This game could significantly impact the conference title race, as both teams aim to assert their dominance early in league play. Concerns have lingered around Utah quarterback Cam Rising’s availability, but confidence remains high among Utes supporters that their squad will emerge victorious.
Another spotlight game unfolds when BYU welcomes No. 13 Kansas State to town. Both teams remain undefeated, making this an intense battle. Kansas State, favored to win the Big 12, looks to maintain its perfect record, though BYU fans hold hope for an upset. However, only about 45.2% of fans are confident in a BYU win, underscoring the challenge the Cougars face.
Nationally, two big games stand out. USC makes a trip to Ann Arbor’s famous “Big House” to take on the reigning national champs, Michigan. USC has been strong this season and looks for a signature statement win against a Michigan team that has not quite looked the same as in past years. The game tests Lincoln Riley’s squad in a tough Big Ten matchup.
Lastly, a hot California team will journey across the country to face a struggling and winless Florida State. The Seminoles are desperately searching for their first win of the season to halt their downward spiral, but the potential for an undefeated 4-0 start by Cal looms, threatening to deepen Florida State’s woes.
Fans and enthusiasts are encouraged to participate by filling out their own picks on the KSL.com College Pick’em platform before Friday night’s games begin, joining in on the competition and camaraderie surrounding the college football season.
This week’s games present a mix of conference battles and nationally significant contests poised to shape playoff and championship trajectories. Fans will be watching closely as teams fight to maintain unbeaten records and achieve vital conference wins.
