so it will be the week of upsets. Every year it's like this.

The only games of national interest are probably the following:

Texas vs Oklahoma
LSU @ Florida
Kentucky @ Texas A&M
Auburn @ Mississippi St
Notre Dame @ Virginia Tech

So which top 10 team gets upset this week?

Where’s gameday going? VPI? That or Florida I’d say.

You never can tell, but I don't really the potential for major upsets next week. Aside from the games you mentioned, and of those I don't think anyone would be shocked if the lower ranked team won those, the rest of the top 10 plays terrible teams.

Alabama @ Arkansas
Vanderbilt @ Georgia
Kansas @ West Virginia
Clemson @ Wake Forest
Indiana @ Ohio State
Washington @ UCLA

It would be a huge shock if the lower team won any of those games.

Of those games, Clemson and Ohio State have the best chances to lose IMO. Clemson's QB situation might be a question mark heading into the game, and Wake isn't great, but they're not a pushover either. And there's always the slight possibility of Ohio State laying an egg after a huge, emotional win.

I fully expect Notre Dame to struggle mightily against VaTech.

The hardest thing in college football is to go on the road the week after beating a top ten team.

Some nice under the radar games for next week:

Utah State(3-1) @ BYU (3-2)
San Diego State (3-1) @ Boise State (3-1)

Schedule does look really bleak though. Worst week of the season IMO.

It seems like every year we say this, and then the unthinkable happens.

You know what that means though. We will all do terrible with our pickems and somebody is going down we think there is no way it will happen.

Like I said - it wouldn't surprise me. But then again, it wouldn't surprise me if the Irish did just fine next week. I'm not going to worry about it until game time next Saturday.

I'm always nervous about every game, but it never really hits until kickoff.

Be purdy sweet down there (it will be ok anyway but..) if Texas hadn't sh*t its pants with Maryland.

It's what we do since I got out of the military in Oct. 2009. I killed our program.
