This week's Purple & Gold football picks (9-26-15)

It's week #4 in the SoCon, and it's time to make this week's SoCon football picks.

Once again, the schedule is mainly out of conference games, but the SoCon does have one conference game scheduled. The Keydets of VMI travels to Traveler's Rest to meed the Paladins. It's a big SoCon vs. the Big South weekend, as the two conferences will clash in a total of three games.

Good Luck to all SoCon teams playing in out of conference games.
