UPSET WATCH
Baylor over Texas
The Bears were so close last weekend at home against West Virginia only losing by 2 points. On the other side, the Longhorns were so close against Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Both teams have improved since the start of the year. Baylor gets Kansas next week, the team they know they can beat and the Longhorns travel to Fort Worth next weekend to take on TCU. Since the Bears are winless on the season, could the Longhorns be looking ahead to next week? Are the Bears looking ahead to next weekend? Whichever team is more focused on the current game will get it done.
UMass over Appalachian State
The Minutemen destroyed Georgia Southern last weekend and looked very confident on offense. In a game that cost Georgia Southern coach Tyson Summers his job, are the Minutemen poised to build from last weekend? The Mountaineers come to Amherst and are arguably the best team in the Sun Belt as Georgia Southern might be the worst team in FBS. UMass has been in every game this season. They will need a repeat of last week if they want to have a chance to the pull the upset.
Arizona over Washington State
Khalil Tate vs Luke Falk. This should be a great battle of quarterbacks in Tucson. The Wildcats have won three in a row with Tate at Quarterback. He has quickly put together insane rushing numbers along with having the best QBR for two weeks in a row and having the 4th best last weekend. All of sudden Tate has given the Wildcats hope to get to the Pac-12 Championship. Falk has had a great career with the Cougars and is one of the best passers in the country. The Cougars are also looking to get to the Pac-12 Championship. Will defense be a factor? The Cougars defensive line and the Wildcats secondary will be important as which ever can produce more stops, will likely help lead their team to victory.
Arizona State over USC
The Sun Devils defense has been a surprise the last couple weeks as they have only allowed 17 points. The Sun Devils are playing with confidence on defense and look to spoil USC's chances to win the Pac-12. The Trojans were blown out in South Bend last week and are likely out of the playoff. They are still in position to get the Pac-12 Championship, but the next two weeks they meet two teams who are have rejuvenated their seasons- Arizona State and Arizona. Can the Trojans bounce back? Sam Darnold and company has to limit their turnovers if they want to win in Tempe.
West Virginia over Oklahoma State
The Mountaineers get the Cowboys in Morgantown. The Cowboys escaped Austin with a win and need to be better on offense this weekend. This should be another entertaining battle of quarterbacks. Will Grier is starting to stiff the Heisman conversation as Mason Rudolph is currently a contender. The Cowboys get the Sooners in the Bedlam Rivalry next weekend and need to focus on West Virginia first. This could be a trap game for the Cowboys. Game will likely come down to the quarterback who can make a big play late. Should be a good one in Morgantown.
