M+J's College Football Upset Alert/Picks- Week 9

UPSET WATCH- WEEKEND GAMES


TCU over Texas
Texas came oh so close to giving Kansas their first Big 12 win of the season and of Les Miles's tenure. A road game at TCU seems like a potential trap after barely surviving last week.

Kansas over Texas Tech
Kansas almost pulled a stunner over Texas. Les Miles has gave Kansas their first sign of life since probably the Mark Mangino days unless you count the brief resurgence that Charlie Weis had going. The Red Raiders have not been too great and have struggled on the road. This seems like this could be the Jayhawks' first Big 12 win.

Temple over UCF
UCF has lost on the road at Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. Temple beat Maryland and Memphis at home. UCF goes to Temple now. Maybe history will repeat once more here.

Kentucky over Missouri
Missouri is 0-2 on the road this season losing at Wyoming and at Vanderbilt. With these road woes, an upset should be likely here.

Michigan over Notre Dame
Michigan played Penn State very tough before falling short. The Irish are the road team for this historic rivalry. Harbaugh knows he needs this one. Brian Kelly also knows that a win is needed to stay in the Playoff hunt. An upset is possible, but this game could go either way.
