Let's consider this. The majority of us are writing this week off as a poor slate of games. We all should remember that often when this is done, it turns out to be a memorable week of upsets.

I have included 9 games as potential upsets. Who says this week stinks? This is going to be a great weekend of CFB gentleman.

Game locations

UCLA @ ASU
Tennessee @ UGA
FSU @ NC State
Arky vs aTm @ Jerry World
Stanford @ Washington
Cincinnati @ Ohio State
Missouri @ South Carolina
Oregon State @ Southern Cal
Washington State @ Utah

 

[WhiteMamba]

Since there are 9 games.

I allowed the voters to choose more than one potential upset for picks

 

[yourTEAMreallySUCKS]

I think texas has a good chance to upset kansas...

 

[oaknightshockey1]

I picked ASU and Oregon St because UCLA and USC haven't looked too great so far. Thought about taking cincy, but I don't know enough about them this year to pick them.

 

[BeaverShaver]

I think both asu and Washington have equal chances imo. neither ucla nor Stanford have impressed.

 

[Ironbreaker]

I think UW has the best chance. We've beaten Furd recently, and could have easily won last years game as well. A lot has changed since then, but UW has the talent to embarrass them.

All depends on which team shows up, jekyll or hyde?

 

[WhiteMamba]

I really think Arky will give aTm fits and may just pull it off.

That would be a huge upset.

I want aTm to win. But the Razorback running fame is filthy so far.

If they can keep the aTm offense off the field and establish long drives watch out.

 

[WhiteMamba]

UW is in my better chances side at upset than some.

This is their 1st real challenge. But haven't shown me enough on the field to make me believe they can do it.

Stanford has been bad on offense with a weak running game.

Bit their defense has been nothing short of very good.

In the end Miles makes one too many mistakes against the defense.

Fork 'em, Sundevils!

If Memphis could almost pull it off, y'all can!

Move Arky into the Top 25 at #14, drop #6 Texas A&M to #10?

Gotta be a home team, not often do you have a team like Indiana walk into a game and pull off an uspet.

I will take Washington over Stanford.

ASU will be without Taylor Kelly due to injury. My guess, Hundley plays.

 

[HuskerinBig10]

Not sure what you all see on the percentages, but I see more than 100%.

dad blame details. I could have voted for three.

I don't see BYE up there...

Yep. Note I picked furd to win in the pickems.

But I think it's going to be really low scoring. Both offenses are whacked. UW lost Callier for the season and Ross might not play again as well.

Give me a decent D and a low score going into the 4th and I like UWs chances for the upset.

YEs, that is one legit running game. I am more comfortable taking the over than Ark to win though

All teams so far have some faults so far.

That is how I like to pick my upsets. Whose faults are bigger. This UW Furd is close.

Stanford is having a hell of a time running, UW strength is front 7.

Stanford strength is defense. UW is a young team without this level of completion as of yet.

IMO, this game comes down to Kevin Hogan. Can he make plays through the air to move the chains against UW. I don't see them running for much. Part 2, can Miles limit mistakes against a top CFb defense.

This is where the game will be won or lost.

 

[Clayton]

ASU, Mizzou, Oregon St

 

[mrwallace2ku]

Oregon State hasn't won in the Mosoleum since time began. Time to put that one to rest in my OP. Of course I'm biased and hoping our O-line is healthy enough to compete this Sat nite.

IF NOT...then bombs away Mannion!

.

Absolutely. UWs fromt 7 is indeed their strength. If they tee off on Hogan and hit him a lot, Furds going to have a long day.

It's going to be strength vs strength deciding this one. UW's front 7vs Furds O-line.

We have to get that pressure on Hogan all day, or he'll shred that young secondary.


If we lose I see it coming from a defensive lapse in the secondary. Will probably be Shaq barely missing creaming Hogan for the 10th time on the day, and Hogan will hit someone on a deep ball.


I'm confident in Miles. No interceptions thus far. Heck UW only has 1 lost turnover all season. Of course it was a Miles fumble but we wont talk about that.
