M+J's College Football Upset Watch/Picks- Week 8

UPSET WATCH- WEEKEND GAMES

South Carolina over Florida

The Gamecocks pulled off the biggest upset of the season last week and now returns home to take on Florida. Momentum could help carry South Carolina to another upset win here. The Gators are coming off their first loss of the season.

Maryland over Indiana

Oh, Maryland is so unpredictable. After destroying Rutgers on the road, they follow up it up by being handled to Purdue. Since it is Maryland, anything is possible. Indiana is the road favorite here, so it seems like this could be an upset to gamble.

Ole Miss over Texas A&M

Texas A&M has played a difficult schedule but has not fared well in those games. This could be a potentially trap game on the road in Oxford. On paper, it also seems that this could be a good match-up for the Rebels as well with their two QB attack.

BYU over Boise State

BYU is 2-4 with wins over Tennessee and USC. They are due a win and get to host Boise State. The Cougars are better than their record and are capable of winning (and losing) any game. USC lost here, so Boise could as well. 

Tulane over Memphis

Tulane has been flying under the radar with their only loss coming in a competitive game at Auburn. We think Tulane is better than people think and have a chance to prove us right tomorrow. This game is much better than it sounds as the AAC is much improved and these teams have a chance at the AAC crown.
