Week 8 Top 25 Matchups

[Onion]

Here's a list of every game played by a top 25 team this coming weekend. In orange I highlighted games between two top 25 teams. In red are the games I feel offer the biggest chance for an upset. And in green is the one can't miss game of the week. Thoughts on possible upsets or advancement opportunities for the []_[]? Other than "beat UNC", of course.

#1 Alabama vs Arkansas
#2 Oregon vs Washington State
#3 Clemson vs #5 FSU
#4 Ohio State vs Iowa
#6 LSU vs Ole Miss
#7 TAMU vs #24 Auburn

Not sure how Stanford beating ucla at home could be considered an upset. Or ucla winning for that matter being an upset. It's just a good even matchup.

 

[CaneTillIDie]

**** VT have to play BYE and then us back to back? That's f***ing tough

I'm just defining upset as lower ranked team beats higher ranked team. Keeping it simple

 

[BTerrinoni]

I think Ucf is going to beat Louisville

BYE has been known to wreak havoc on players' mental and physical preparation lol

 

[D.L.I.N.K.D.A.GR8]

UCF is no slouch... Im calling the upset... Waiting for the lines to come out cause im ready to place a bet on the Knights

 

[Nickkcin]

ASU will beat Washington in my opinion. Tenn may upset USC. Maybe Ole Miss over LSU

It destroyed many a Coker and Shannon team

we could move up another three spots next week.

UCLA will fall to stanford I believe, the loser of the Clemson FSU game will fall, and I think aTm may lose to Auburn

not to mention if Louisville shows up against UCF

 

[motorcitycane]

Tennessee beating South Carolina is my pick as well.
Vandy over UGA. 3-3 UGA will still be ranked.

 

[bes628]

I think #6-9 could all be upset . And one of #3/#5 has to lose.

 

[Notsince1985]

I don't see Tennessee beating USC. UT is really bad. I think they blew their wad against UGA and I think USC will roll them. UCF can beat UL, but I have a feeling UL plays their best game of the year against their only "tough" opponent. I expect Stanford to bounce back and beat UCLA though.

 

[Cribby]

The trees will be real grumpy next week, I expect them to beat Ucla.

 

[Dingaan1828]

I don't see Tenn beating anyone with a pulse.

Me neither really. They'll beat Kentucky and possibly Vanderbilt. Doubt they beat Mizzou, even without Franklin. Doubt they beat Auburn, though I'm not sold on Auburn. They won't beat Bama. Butch Jones is going to need a lot more bricks.

 

[SmokeyRone]

May go without saying, but we REALLY need to beat UNC thursday.

 

[Sandman211]

I'd watch out for ASU and TCU for upsets.

 

[Notsince1985]

May? Really going out on a limb there

 

[JefeGringo]

I saw Tenn live against UF and they are gawd awful, they wouldnt be top 6 in the ACC so let that sink in.
