Week 1 Upsets

[VFL1995]

List all the upsets you think will happen in the opening weekend in College Football

Mine are-
North Carolina over South Carolina-I don't really know if this is considered an upset but I'll put it anyway. South Carolina has questions at QB which UNC does not. North Carolina 33, South Carolina 28

South Dakota State over Kansas-Kansas returns only 7 starters from a team that was god awful last season. I think they go winless this season. South Dakota State 31, Kansas 20

BYU over Nebraska-Again, this may not be considered an upset but Nebraska is the bigger program. BYU is always a talented team and Nebraska will be breaking in a new coach. BYU 31, Nebraska 28

Texas A&M over Arizona State-This is one of the more intriguing games of week 1, both teams will be very good this season but I think A&M could be a potential dark horse. There's talent across the board on offense and the defense should be improved under John Chavis. Texas A&M 38, Arizona State 35

Northern Iowa over Iowa State-Northern Iowa is an FCS contender annually, they have a very talented team again this year. Iowa State has talent in places but this feels like an upset. Northern Iowa 30, Iowa State 24

Kent State over Illinois-I have a strong feeling that Kent State will surprise a lot of folks this season. Illinois was a bit of a surprise last season and with a tougher schedule this season I don't see that happening this year. Kent State 34, Illinois 27

Great thread, be back with mine! Aside of Arizona State (and trust me my picking skills would have me living under a bridge if I had to make a living doing it) so don't change a thing. I'm down with every other pick.

Nothing to add to this topic other than ^ makes me sad. Not that I have any affection for KS, but not a single win?

It is called the Weis effect.

Michigan upsets Utah 21-10.

Doesn't SDST have like a 5 game win streak against FBS teams?

I was leaning towards Nebraska because of all of the BYU players that will be suspended because of the bowl brawl, but I've heard Nebraska will have a few suspended as well.

Is that a Pick'em game? Because I don't know who the hell I'm gonna pick.

Wisconsin over Alabama
Texas over Notre Dame
Minnesota over TCU
VT over Ohio State
Michigan over Utah

Yes, it's in the Pickems

Not saying it will happen, but I think Western Michigan and Michigan State will be a very competitive game. Western Michigan was an 8 win team last year, return a ton players on offense and its at Western Michigan. Also could Michigan State be looking ahead to the showdown against Oregon the following week?

Week 2 upset: Oregon beats MSU

ASU over aTm. Not too big of an upset when considering the betting line.

I want to say BYU over Nebraska but Riley is an unknown at Nebeaska.

This one is hard for me. I almost feel like either team could be the underdog.

Same..

Hope I'm wrong and aTm sends ASU back to reality.

But it I think Berco is going to go off.

It is, and it is one of my lowest confidence points

Richmond upsets Maryland-Book it

I almost picked that one as well. I won't be shocked at all if it happens

I don't thing ATM over Arizona St. is an upset. ATM is definitely the team to watch this year. They will do well. Loaded with talent according to the media. I'm not a big believer in the media, but they have enought 5 star talent that some of them have to be good. "If you throw enough mud on the wall, some of it is going to stick."
