Upset Guesses (Sept 7)

[IdaGriz01]

I’m running late this week, but I wasn’t sure it was worth the trouble. The schedule does still have quite a few money games against FBS opponents. At least this week there’s only one against a ranked team. (Might could start a poll on how many points Washington State will score on Northern Colorado. )

I finally decided there were enough questions (which I’ll post separately) to make it interesting after all.

Reminder: Team on the left is the "underdog." For FCS vs FCS, that goes by the ranking (whether you agree with that ranking or not). For FCS at FBS, the FCS is always the underdog.

Two choices allowed. You can change your votes.

Issues to make things interesting:
Will Central Arkansas have a let-down after their big upset? As simple as that.

Chattanooga looked pretty good, while Jacksonville State got clobbered. Does J-State even deserve to be ranked, still.

I included the RI vs Delaware game, even though neither is ranked, because I’m wondering if people think the Ram are on the upswing. (They seem to think they are.) Rhode Island looked somewhat respectable in losing to an FBS opponent, and now get to play at home. Delaware feasted (as usual) on a pathetic Delaware State team. Are they ready for some tougher competition?

The other matchups are all against not-so-strong FBS opponents, so it’s just the multiple questions of who might pull off an upset.

Went with Southern Illinois and Maine.

Trust me... UMass is not very good.

SIU and Maine

Trust me... UMass is not very good.

My second upset pick ... after Jacksonville State. (Unless I change my mind. )

Kennesaw State more than holding its own at Kent State ... leading 13-10 and moving the ball with less than 5 min in the first half.

Now playing OT, 23-23.

GO FCS!

Plus: GO GRIZ! :egriz:

Shucks.

Loss shouldn't hurt the Owls, and might help if anybody ahead of them struggles.

Maine and A & T.

Lots of football still to be played (middle of the third quarter), but Southern Illinois leads at UMass, 31-13. Barring a major collapse, one of my upset picks is looking good.

Now that the Griz game is going well, I might point out that Southern Illinois pounded FBS (in name, at least), 45-20.
