Out of those 3 I have to go with Texas over LSU.
USC just lost their QB
Maryland is too inconsistent to bet on.

Yes, USC lost JT Daniels but Slovis is a capable QB and I don't think KJ Costello is playing for the trees either.
As far as Maryland is concerned, I understand your worry about their consistency.

Ehhhhhh. Not so sure on that one. Burrow seems to have turned a corner, and IMO LSU has much better athletes than Texas at this point. They're favored by 5 in Austin at night. That's not a mistake. They're better. I don't think Texas has a #2 RB for this week.

Night games on the road do funny things, however. I probably won't bet this game, but I think LSU will win.

If I had to say the Top 25 team that'll lose this week, I'll go with Nebraska at Colorado.

I also think the Tulane vs Auburn game will be a lot closer than people expect.

Nah, Ehlinger is the FAR better QB than Burrow & it's not even close, there's not a single metric or thing on the field that Burrow does better than Ehlinger.

Ehlinger threw for 3,292yds 25TD's & 5INT's at 64.7%cmp last year, plus this same Texas squad beat UGA last year.

LSU has a better secondary than Texas, but their Offense doesn't have the firepower to keep up with Texas, I think yall are sleeping way too hard on UT because LSU whopped us last year lol TX is loaded this season.

A lot of these SEC juggernauts are going down this year, yall will see it, that conference is purely top heavy, it's Bama, UGA & everybody else...

I definitely would pick Colorado for the upset at Nebraska, they actually have a sneaky good Defense is a pretty good QB that is serviceable enough to put together sustained drives that keeps Adrian Martinez off the field.

And the team I would put on upset watch the most is West Va vs Mizzou, even though Mizzou lost to Wyoming last week West Va struggled big time vs James Madison & Mizzou's offense actually looked really good with Kelly Bryant putting up 423yds passing, if they can improve their run defense they'll beat West Va.

We will see Saturday night, my friend. Huge game for both programs, obviously. Should be a good one either way. I'll take LSU by a FG, though. And that's no bias on our game vs them, I don't think LSU is great. I just don't think Texas is a true Top 10 team. Aranda will take away Ehlinger's running opportunities and make him throw to win, and I don't think he can against LSU's secondary. But I'm excited to watch. I hate that it's basically the same time as our game, I'll have to DVR it because I'll have both big screens going but the volume will be cranking on our game and I won't be paying much attention to LSU/UT. I'll watch that one at 11:00 after we beat the brakes off the Torn Holes.

Stop Shenault, you'll stop Colorado. Dude's a one-man wrecking crew. Still think Colorado wins.

A&M over Clemson. Yes I said it lol. Lawrence throws 3 picks.

I'm not a big fan of Kellen Mond but there's no doubt Texas A&M has a chance to win the game. Dabo Swinney is 5-4 Vs. Jimbo Fisher with Dabo winning 4 out of the last 5. There's plenty of NFL talent on both sides and this match should be entertaining for sure.

I think it will be a better game than Texas vs LSU. LSU will roll Texas. Watch I go 0-2 here and look like an idiot per usual.

UT Martin over the turds.

I kid, I kid. Don't see any true "upset" happening. USC may beat Stanford (though I don't think so after watching them when QB went down) and Cuse could lose to MD (I don't see that either personally), but neither would qualify to me as much of an upset.

I wouldn't be THAT shocked if the Aggies beat Clemson, but again I don't see that happening. However, I already put in on them at +18. That's way too many points.
 
Clemson over A&M and Texas over LSU would would make the season a lot more pleasant for most of the cfb world. Otherwise, we'll be hearing that "SEC!" vomit by ESPN and every hick in the south.
 
Colorado over that CornSUCKER team!

That CornSUCKER team opened as a - 7 1/2 " road favorite. " Literally SMH. But as of Monday night the line was... -6.

Oh. And one more notion. It still AMAZES moi how the national college football pundits still have a " love affair " with that Cornsucker team ( Excuses on why Nebraska had TROUBLE with TINY South Alabama at home. LOL ). Even Vegas is giving them respect and what not. hUh?

The bottom line is either Colorado is a very CRAPPY Power 5 team ( The BISON won by double-digits Saturday past against Col. St., and covered handily. ). Or that CornSUCKER team " held back on offense " Saturday past.

By the way. TINY South Alabama was " 3-9 " last season and had a lot of NEW starters on both offense and defense this season. LOL

Agreed. I got LSU. Their Defense is too good and I’m not sold on Texas’s Defense yet.

Texas defense last year stopped a better offense in 2018 uga in the bowl game and that game was more lopsided than the score indicated. I think Texas wins for sure

Yes but Stanford is a better program right now than USC. And the coaching at Stanford is head and shoulders above USC.
