I need some advice from a College FB expert?

So, I am doing a College Football Pick'em bracket, but i know pretty much nothing about college FB, haha. So somehow i'm in first place at this point, I have my 30 (Bama), 28 (Central Michigan), 9 (TCU), & 4 (Iowa) pointers left but the two people below me still have their 34, 33, 32, and 31 pointers left. So even if I get the last 4 correct, i'll probably still get passed.

So I need to pick an upset or two. Of the last four bowl games (TCU/BS, GT/Iowa, C.Mich/Troy, Bama/Texas) which ones are most likely to be upsets in your opinion? Thanks and I will pick best answer tomorrow.

Update:

Well I know both guys who have their top four confidence points left...One of them for sure has TCU, Central Mich. and Bama. He may be picking the upset in Iowa. The other guy I think is picking the favorites for all four. I currently have Iowa winning, but at only 4. I may raise that.

Update 2:

Unfortunately you cant see who someone picked until the games start (by then its too late to edit yours) but I know these two guys and i'm fairly confident one of them is going TCU, Bama, Cent. Mich and Iowa, the other is picking TCU, Bama, Cent. Mich, and GT.

    if your pool is anything like the CBS pool, it's not so much about who you take, it's who everyone else takes and how much they will assign to those games..

    chances are, most other poolies will have assigned strong numbers to the heavy favorites.

    take a look at who they are going with for their 34,33,32, and 31 pointers and the take the other team.

    i personally have boise to beat TCU based on the fact that they have more experience in big games and because i was extremely impressed with the way they dominated oregon.

    if they are all going with Bama, then taking Texas would not be a bad gamble at all, even though a texas win would be considered a major upset..

    central mich is very strong. there's no way they lose this game, so stay away from that one.

    ga tech and iowa is a crap shoot. anything could happen between these two unpredictable teams..

    Iowa over Georgia Tech- Tech has a small front four on D and Iowa can run they ball and throw of play action. Iowa got a great run D. Iowa has a NFL type of coach with 4 weeks too prepare for a one dimensional type of offense. plus line is GT-5 that is they unicorn number and best chance for an upset. Take Iowa over Georgia Tech. I think Iowa wins out right or looses by a field goal. GT is just too small up front

    Bama is a lock to win and so is central Mich. TCU will probably win but by less than 7 so go with IOWA

    TCU should stomp BS, C.Mich is too good for Troy, GTech's triple-option will win against a mediocre Iowa, and Texas' Defense will hold Bama's O, but Bama's D will hold Texas' suspect O.

    Texas over Bama could be one, or BS over TCU.

    The Others are locks, pretty much.

    Iowa will definitely handle GA Tech. I also believe Texas will pull the upset as well.

    Iowa will handle sad Georgia Tech. Other than that, I wouldn't be surprised if Texas beats Alabama.
