2010 Week 4 College Football Projections; Nevada, TCU, and Stanford Undefeated

Now things get interesting!  With the shake-up in the rankings, the regular season projected records are a bit of a surprise.  Here is what my computer projects and below are the 1-loss and undefeated teams.

And there are 3 projected to finish undefeated and Alabama and Ohio State aren't any of them.  Rather it is BCS busters Nevada and TCU, and what appears to be a hot Stanford team.

Stanford will be tested right away visiting Oregon next week and has a pretty good chance of finishing with one loss (40%) so them finishing unblemished is certainly not a given.

Nevada on the other hand, like Boise State, is now entering the easy part of their schedule.  The only game on their schedule that should be a test is Boise State and that game is in Reno.  With convincing wins hosting Cal and at BYU, if they beat BSU they can make a decent case for getting into the BCS.

TCU's only real opponent on the schedule is at Utah so they too are looking good.

There are a host of teams projected to have 1 loss that have a decent chance at an undefeated season, those being tOSU (44% up from 36%), Alabama (35%), NC State (30%), Boise State (21%), and Florida (8%).

It is a bit of a surprise to see NC State with such a good chance, but after next week's game hosting VaTech (#20), their only game against a team ranked higher than #45 is at Clemson (#21) so they have a chance.
