I can see Duke over UNC and Alabama over LSU. Not so sure about Indiana over Iowa or FSU over Clemson.

But, I've got four other upset specials for you:

1) Kansas St. over #6 Baylor tonight! Kansas St. played both TCU and Oklahoma St. tough - losing both games on last minute scores. Baylor is giving its freshman QB his first real snaps against an underrated team that has nothing to lose...on the road.

2) Washington over #12 Utah. Chris Peterson has owned Utah. Washington beat USC on the road and played tough against Cal, and Oregon. Washington just held Arizona's #9 rushing offense to 127 yards on 44 carries (2.8 per) and only 3 points. Also had 3 INT's in the 49-3 route. Most of Utah's good wins have been in SLC. This game is in Seattle.

3) Nebraska over Michigan St. This is just a feeling. Nebraska has a bunch of close losses to decent teams. The game is in Lincoln and the Cornhuskers are due for a close win.

4) Cincinnati over #25 Houston. Lots of yards and scoring for Houston against poor defenses. Toughest games have been against Louisville (4-4), Tulsa (4-4), and Vanderbilt (3-5). Cincinnati can score too and is much more battle tested. Close road games against Memphis (8-0) and BYU (6-2) and a solid performance against Temple (7-1). Cincinnati in a shootout.

Kansas St. is possible and so is Cincy (but they are away and I feel Houston is the best team in the conference), but I can't see Nebraska winning (Nebraska is really down this year). I forgot about Pedersen, so that COULD be possible, but unlikely.

Pitt and ND will be close, they always are close no matter the records of the teams.
