Upset Guesses, Top Ten (Sept 22)

[IdaGriz01]

Because two of the top-10 (TSN poll) teams are in the Big Sky, and one is idle (Wofford), I dipped down to #12 ... just to give more choices. BTW, #13 Towson is playing a total weak sister in St. Francis-PA (2-1).

It's neat that we do have three games that match up ranked teams.

I am really intrigued by the Youngstown, UNI game. Wonder what the spread will be?

Couple of really good games in there and some teams playing ranked teams that can put up some points. Guess we'll see what ODU and Youngstown are bringing to the table now that we're on a level field.

W&M. Delaware has looked like dogsh#t

Yep. Three home wins: West Chester (D-II), Delaware State (Be still my beating heart!), and Bucknell (Uh ... not so much). Their #12 ranking looks like pure CAA bias.

More: W&M lost by 1 point at Maryland (FBS), and by 1 FG in each of their two FCS losses. So they've lost 3 games by a total of 7 points. I'm wishing I'd pick this as an upset myself.

Comforting...like a warm blanket or milk and cookies

I can understand New Hampshire over Old Dominion (ODU hasn't really beat anybody) ... but I'm surprised more haven't picked W&M over Delaware. Besides the points made earlier about Delaware's lame record, I also watched a rebroadcast of the W&M games against Towson (where they lost by a FG). They looked pretty good, they're at home, and they're hungry for a win.

Pretty amazing that so few are picking North Carolina State to "upset" The Citadel. Is that just because you do not consider that an upset, and don't want to "waste" a vote? Or do you really believe the #10 FCS team has a good chance against a mediocre FBS? I listed the matchup that way as a bit of a joke, figuring everyone would jump on that ... and use their other vote to pick a "real" upset. (Guess the joke was no me. )

Despite the difference in records, I'm leaning more and more toward W&M winning at home over Delaware.

UNI then has to play #1 ND the following week. They have a pretty brutal schedual.

I was wondering about that. I wouldn't saying NC State winning would be an upset. Actually just the opposite.

I got a goofy NC State fan to give me Citadel +20.

I like my chances...
