We are already at week 8, can you believe it? It's amazing that nine of you have survived this long. Get ready for a very difficult week and make your pick carefully. Good luck!

Upset Alert

For the second week I'd like to share my quick thoughts on potential upsets. This week, I honestly believe we could see 10 top 25 teams lose. There are many brutal matchups for top teams on the road. Here are several teams I think might unexpectedly lose on Saturday:

  • #20 Wisconsin

Why? The Badgers are going on the road to play an unranked Northwestern team that is coming off of three straight victories, including an upset win over Michigan State. I actualy like the Wildcats to beat the Badgers in Evanston.

  • #12 Kentucky 

Why? This is an upset waiting to happen that really isn't an upset at all. The Wildcats (6-1) travel to play unranked Missouri (4-3). The Tigers are a seven point favorite to win.

  • #16 Texas A&M

Why? The 5-2 Aggies are on the road, taking on the Mississippi State Bulldogs who took the world by surprise two weeks ago when they upset #8 Auburn. This will be a tough game for A&M to win.

Deadline

Friday 11:59 PM CDT. Late submissions will not be accepted. If you are late or don't pick you're outta here!
