M+ J's College Football Week 5 Upset Watch/Picks

UPSET WATCH

Syracuse over Clemson
Syracuse upset Clemson last season and are much improved this season. Clemson is not going to overlook them this time. However, the Tigers have shown some vulnerability so far.

Texas Tech over West Virginia
Texas Tech's high scoring offense has shown to be a more complete team than past years. West Virginia can score a lot too. This game should be high scoring and should come down to whoever plays better defense.

Penn State over Ohio State
A whiteout in Happy Valley is what the Buckeyes will be playing in front of. Many college football fans are hoping Penn State can pull it off. It happened last time Ohio State came to town.

Arizona over USC

This is the disappointment bowl. Arizona has looked better their last couple games, and BYU has shown to be a pretty good team. USC has been disappointing, and it could continue on the road today. However, Clay Helton teams tend to start slow and finish strong, so this could be when they begin to turn the corner.
