Dave Portnoy Cries Collusion On Barstool CFB Week 4 Top 10

TLDR: Week 4 of the Barstool College Football Show has Dave Portnoy accusing the crew of fixing the Top 10, backing Ole Miss at Florida and riding Western Michigan +7 in the Dark Horse Parlay.

  1. That's about as much credit as Walker was ever going to get from Dave. Dave said he'd had them as a contender on Pretenders Contenders 2 weeks ago, called them lucky anyway, and now says they proved a lot. He also doesn't think much of Missouri, so Walker's team gets his pick this week. If the Bulldogs win, the curse is over. If they lose, Walker is going to hear about it.

    The big pick of the night was Ole Miss at Florida, Saturday at 3:30 ET in the Swamp. Ole Miss is coming off a win over LSU, the one where Lane Kiffin came back to Oxford. Florida won on the road at Auburn in Jon Sumrall's 1st season as head coach. The on-screen line had the No. 21 Gators as 3.5-point favorites over the No. 4 Rebels, and Dave decided that was exactly the line Vegas wants you to fall for.

    "You'd have to be a LUNATIC to take Ole Miss. Give me Ole Miss." Dave isn't falling for the Florida trap. @highnoonsunsips

    It's classic Dave logic: the setup is so obvious that the obvious play has to be wrong. He says Brandon and Dan saw it the same way, that the books are begging you to take Florida. There's history behind it, too. A 2024 loss in the Swamp is what kept Ole Miss out of the College Football Playoff that year, so Rebels fans will be nervous no matter what Dave says.

    Ride with the Barstool College Football Show crew in week four for the DK Dark Horse Parlay presented by @DraftKings Dave: Western Michigan (+7) Big Cat: Iowa (+5.5) BFW: Iowa State (+8.5) Katic: Michigan State (+5.5) #DKPartner

    Then came the Dark Horse Parlay, 4 underdogs and a lot of hope. Dave took Western Michigan +7, Big Cat took Iowa +5.5, Brandon Walker took Iowa State +8.5 and Katic took Michigan State +5.5. None of them has played yet, and it only takes 1 miss to kill the whole ticket. Between the Top 10 fight, Walker's Bulldogs and Dave's Ole Miss pick, there's plenty to argue about on next week's show once Saturday's results come in.
