Pick the Upsets Week #8 First Edition
We will pick from this week forward 2 possible upsets per week involving the remaining unbeaten teams. Unbeatens are in Bold.

1. Florida State at Clemson
2. Central Florida at Louisville
3. Brigham Young at Houston
4. Iowa at Ohio State
5. Miami at North Carolina
6. Iowa State at Baylor
7. Texas Tech at West Virginia
8. U.C.L.A. at Stanford
9. Washington State at Oregon
10. Fresno State at U.N.L.V.
11. Florida at Missouri
12. Arkansas at Alabama
13. Northern Illinois at Central Michigan

If two unbeatens are playing each other (like Florida State and Clemson) just pick the winner.

For the first week I pick Central Florida over Louisville and Brigham Young over Houston

Vandiver, B.Y.U. is an appropriate pick because they would be upsetting an undefeated team. In the U.C.L.A. game the Bruins are the undefeated team so the pick would be appropriate if you were taking Stanford. We will be picking the teams that knock off an undefeated team. And in the case of the Clemson / F.S.U. game since both are undefeated we will just be picking the winner since either would not really be an upset per se.

Sorry I probably didn't make this as clear as I should have.

Well, are you picking? The more the merrier for something like this.

I'll take UNC over Miami and BYU over Houston as well.

I think FSU takes Clemson.

RE: Pick the Upsets Week #8 First Edition
1. I'm hoping Clemson beats Florida State. End the heisman chances of Jameis and I think Clemson can "Clemson" later in the season.
2. I love Thursday nights for upsets, but I don't think Central Florida wins at Louisville, if only the game were in Florida.
3. Brigham Young beats Houston,
7. Texas Tech is decent, but I think they lose at West Virginia, who is not as bad as their game against Baylor suggests.
8. U.C.L.A. also falls at Stanford. Stanford will be upset after losing last week and will take their revenge on UCLA
9. Washington State at Oregon - I love Mike Leach, but Oregon rolls to another victory. Stanford is the only team I think that has a decent chance at knocking them off.
10. Fresno State at U.N.L.V. - UNLV has played better than expected so far, but they're no match for Fresno
11. Florida at Missouri - with their QB out, I think Mizzou falls.

Realistically I think 5 unbeatens could all fall this week. 1 has to lose, but I think we see at least 3 lose. Houston and UCLA most likely, with lesser chances followed by Tech and Mizzou.

I must admit though, I'm a bit biased in my some of my predictions, hoping to improve A&M's chances of a rematch with Bama in the MNC with JFF getting another Heisman. I can dream right?

It will be a very very long time before there is a rematch in the NC game.

RE: Pick the Upsets Week #8 First Edition
I know its not likely, but A&M is still in a pretty good position. They'll probably lose to LSU anyway though.
A&M just has to win out and hope for a couple of key upsets. 1 loss A&M would finish higher than any non AQ undefeated. Would need to have no other undefeated teams in Pac12, B1G, or ACC though. Not sure if an undefeated Baylor would jump A&M or not, I think that would be close.

Again, they'll probably lose to LSU, but I can dream until then...back to the upset picks now...

So which two are you going with?

No, I picked the right game, just listed the wrong team. Stanford beat UCLA.

I'm picking Houston, UCLA, and Florida State to lose. Texas Tech and Mizzou also as games to watch, but not 100% saying they are losing.

I'm not trying to be anal here, but while I enjoy your reasoning and breakdown, in this weekly game we pick just two upsets. So which two do you want to make official?

Yeah it's pretty simple we'll pick two a week until the season ends or there are no remaining unbeaten teams. The one with the most correct picks wins.
