With four ranked teams in the Big Sky, my field of possible upsets narrowed considerably … since I don’t include BSC games. I had a further problem because many ranked teams had creampuffs as opponents, with seven games where the opponent records are 2-7, 2-6 (4), or 1-7 (2). And we have only two games where ranked teams play each other, and in one of those, the higher ranked team is at home.

So with such slim pickin’s, you’ll notice that three games involve unranked 4-4 teams. At least the 4-4 underdogs are at home for two of those. Despite these excuses, you may find it strange that I included the New Hampshire game versus 2-6 William & Mary. Some facts make that not entirely a desperation move: UNH has won 5 games … all were at home. UNH has lost 3 games … all were on the road. They’re at W&M ... 'Nuff said :) .

Underdog on the left, two choices allowed, and you can change your votes.
 
As I recall, if you try to change a poll, all the existing votes go away ... so I can't do that. However, it looks like I could have just as well used "Bobcats suck" as a choice rather than the Mercer vs Samford game ;) . Oh well.
 
Okay, coming along a bit.

Maybe we should have a poll on how badly Mercer loses to Samford, since no one thinks they have any chance at an upset.
 
Well, guys. In case you missed it (like I did until now ;) ) four of the seven games I listed as possible upsets ... happened:
#10 SDSU bet #2 NDSU, 33-21
NR Northern Iowa beat #6 South Dakota, 34-29
#15 W Illinois beat #12 I-Satte 31-14
NR Richmond beat #20 Villanova, 22-0

And, of course, the Griz upset #18 NAU, 17-15 (but I don't do Big Sky :) )
