I'm going with Pitt at VT. Game is at noon, so no intimidating nighttime atmosphere. Pitt has an experienced defense that can give VT's offense a lot of problems.

Full disclosure: I hate VT, too.

Who are you putting on upset alert?

I will give you 2.

Oklahoma vs. Texas As crappy as Texas is and as lucky as they were to get the Iowa State win, they are 2-0 in the league and have a chance to make something out of their season.


Also, Northwestern at Wisconsin...tough job to spend yourself against Ohio State and lose, then have to turn around and go to Wisconsin.

I'm pretty sure the Red River Rivalry is played at a neutral location.

Not sure if this is an upset in Vegas honestly.

I think NU is better than Wisky, but not sure how they react after last week

What about Ohio State? Iowa is not the team of old, but they have a pretty good defense.

Maybe Boston College can catch Clemson napping. I picked them before as an upset and they soundly proved me wrong so Clemson fans should be happy.

I hope Rutgers pulls the upset on Louisville but I dont see it happening.

OSU is on a bye week. OSU has a better O than MSU does, so I think they will put up points on a good Iowa D. Not sure how OSU will do against Iowa's O honestly (they have been so inconsistent)

Ah, gotcha. I think Ohio State has a pretty tough road ahead of them. Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan.

I think Washington has a good shot against Oregon at home. They have a good offense, so if their defense can at least do a little to slow Oregon down they can stay in it. Oregon hasnt really faced a D as athletic as Washington yet and they just lost their TE, who is a big part of the offense.

I think those teams are ok, but wouldn't exactly call any of them, outside of Michigan, good per say

Iowa and Indiana are at home, and OSU has bye weeks before both of them. Illinois could be a sneaky team to give OSU trouble, and Michigan is always a tough game

I really like Arkansas to beat USCe. It just feels like an upset waiting to happen.

Let's hope it's a good matchup. I really hope UW wins.

A lot of people do. I just see South Carolina winning easily. I mean, when is the East NOT competitive?
