Who won Week 4 in college football?
Evaluating some of those quirky point spreads and outcomes from another crazy college football Saturday.
For fans of the Big 12, this season is looking pretty wild already. The despised “traitors” Oklahoma and Texas both opened conference play with Ls in games they were favored in. Baylor pulled out a nice win in Ames to maintain their place and the Kansas Jayhawks are currently sitting at 4-0 and atop the conference standings behind terrific play from quarterback Jalon Daniels.
