Upset of the week (week 11)

[clover3ND]

I am taking Minnesota over Iowa! Minnesota had a good Michigan team beat 2 weeks ago and played well against Ohio State last week. I am not entirely sold on Iowa yet, so I can definitely see this one going the way of the gophers.

My 2nd pick would be Arizona over Utah or Washington State over UCLA. The PAC 12 has been crazy this season so every game seems to have a chance for a potential upset.

Who do y'all have?

Bama will lose this weekend

USF at home vs. Temple. USF has been playing well lately. Hope it doesn't happen, though, for our SOS.

An Alabama loss this weekend would definitely throw a monkey wrench into the SEC. SEC very well may end up with a two loss champion and that would almost eliminate them from the playoff conversation. Then again, a lot can happen in college football and a two loss team still has a chance (albeit small).

Ok. State loses to Iowa state

AL obviously has more talent than MS ST, but coming off of the LSU game, they may be ripe for an upset. Remember, this is the same team that struggled to beat TN at home. MS ST is playing well. I believe AL will win, but this game could shake up the SEC big time.

Ok. State loses to Iowa state

From your mouth (Uhhh... keyboard) to the football gods' ears! Okie State has caught a few breaks this season and will probably be exposed by both Baylor and the Sooners, but every loss in the Big XII is a good loss for Notre Dame this year. I think the road to the playoffs for ND ultimately will be decided by the Big XII. If everyone incurs a loss, then ND is in... if Baylor or the Pokes go undefeated it's hard to keep them out considering that would mean that they would have beaten TCU, Oklahoma, and Baylor/OkSt.

However, I think the round robin schedule will eventually bite the Big 12 in the arse and all of the teams will ended up beating up on each other. Baylor vs Oklahoma this weekend is probably the most important game when determining if a B12 team will go undefeated. If the Bears sneak past Oklahoma, then they have a pretty good chance in running the table.

Oklahoma exposes Baylor for the frauds they are 55 to 31.

Definitely agree! Baylor took a huge hit when they lost Russell for the year. Baylor is built to outscore you, and when an integral part is removed from that philosophy then you can almost guarantee a stark drop off. Defensively, Oklahoma should be able to confuse the freshman QB early and disrupt what Briles is trying to achieve. In effect, I see Baylor having to limit their playbook to avoid mistakes. Not factoring in Stoops recent track record in big games, I see the Sooners winning 41-31. But with that said, I just jinxed Oklahoma so the Bears will hang half-a-hundred on them. :-/
