M+J's College Football Upset Watch/Picks- Week 7

UPSET WATCH

Last week the Projected Blowout of the Week turned into the Biggest Upset of the Week. What games will be the stories of Week 7? Who's on Upset Alert?

Texas over Oklahoma

Texas is starting to play better as they beat K-State last week. Oklahoma fell victim to one of the biggest upsets of the season last week. Will the Sooners have a hangover from last week's game? This rivalry is usually a good game. A win here and the Longhorns might be trending back to the football power they once were.

West Virginia over Texas Tech

This would not be much of an upset, but Texas Tech is ranked and WVU is not. The game is played in Morgantown, and the Mountaineers need a good win. A minor upset seems possible.

Maryland over Northwestern

Somehow Northwestern is road favorite here. Maryland not only has a better record but has a win over Texas and their only losses are to ranked opponents. Northwestern's only wins are against Bowling Green and Nevada, which are two of the worst FBS teams this season. This seems like a sure bet here for those looking to risk some.

Memphis over Navy

Navy is ranked and undefeated entering this game at Memphis, which was already a site for one upset this season. The Tigers are pretty good though with their only loss to UCF. The home field advantage seems like it could be a difference maker here. Although if Navy controls the pace and stays in front, the Midshipmen likely survive.

Eastern Michigan over Army

The Eagles have lost 3 straight in which were all narrow defeats that went right down to the end. Army's ground attack has been lethal this season. However, their best win is a narrow home over Buffalo. Eastern Michigan has already won at Rutgers and was very close at Kentucky. If the Eagles can learn to close, an upset could be brewing here.

Indiana over Michigan

Michigan did not look well against the Spartans last week. In general, the Wolverines have not been very dominant this year. The Hoosiers are not the punching bag they usually are. Of course, Ohio State and Penn State did not have trouble, but it is still an improved Indiana team. If the Wolverines struggle to score again, they will find themselves in another close game where a hungry Hoosiers team will be anxious for this upset.
