I would expect P5 to win 16 against G5 (look out, Penn St) and 19 vs. FCS.

Curious as to who your FCS upsets are.

Good question. I just think based on past there will be one.

I actually looked at the games the other day and I think the two most likely ones are Villanova over Syracuse and Youngstown State over Illinois.

Northern Iowa over Iowa is another distinct possibility.

The obvious place to start is with the best FCS teams, assuming they have good teams coming back this year:

North Dakota State at Iowa State
Towson at West Virginia
Eastern Washington at Washington -- trap game for the Huskies, it's the week after their trip to Hawai'i.
Sam Houston State at LSU -- probably not.
Eastern Illinois at Minnesota -- probably not, unless EIU has a strong replacement for Garoppolo.

Oh, and not a P5 game, but watch Montana at Wyoming -- Craig Bohl's first game as Wyoming coach. Can Montana do to Bohl what Bohl's NDSU teams did to several FBS teams?

The obvious place to start is with the best FCS teams, assuming they have good teams coming back this year:

North Dakota State at Iowa State- Week 2 game but a very good possibility as ISU lost to Northern Iowa last year.
Towson at West Virginia- Also Week 2 game, but Towson lost their entire team to graduation so I doubt it.[b]
Eastern Washington at Washington -- trap game for the Huskies, it's the week after their trip to Hawai'i.
Sam Houston State at LSU -- probably not.
Eastern Illinois at Minnesota -- probably not, unless EIU has a strong replacement for Garoppolo.Not just Garoppolo, but they lost their coach, Dino Barbers, to Bowling Green

Oh, and not a P5 game, but watch Montana at Wyoming -- Craig Bohl's first game as Wyoming coach. Can Montana do to Bohl what Bohl's NDSU teams did to several FBS teams?
Montana hasn't been the same since the rape scandal a few years back. I think Wyoming will be too much for them. Bohl is a great coach and they'll be competitive sooner rather than later.

More possibilites:

JMU over Maryland
Delaware over Pitt

I agree on JMU over MD. In fact, I'd almost welcome it since that would probably seal Edsall's fate. To think that they could have had Franklin instead.
