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

 UPSET WATCH

West Virginia over Kansas State

K-State has rebounded well since losing their opener to Arkansas State. They travel to West Virginia for a tough test. Crowd may not be a factor, but travel is. 

Rutgers over Indiana

The Hoosiers were the recipients of a bad call that gave them an upset win over Penn State. Rutgers looked sharp in an opening win at Michigan State. Rutgers is at home, and Greg Schiano may have brought the magic with him. Let's see if they continue to improve. 

Penn State over Ohio State

Can the Nittany Lions bounce back and upset Ohio State to prevent falling to 0-2? The Buckeyes know they can't slip up if they want to be in the Play-Off.

Charlotte over Duke

Charlotte has two narrow defeats, and Duke's only win is against lowly Syracuse. Could still be a longshot but I think it is worth a shot to mention.

Texas Tech over Oklahoma

Though the Sooners are ranked again, they still have not looked too impressive. Beating TCU was nice, but a road trip to Texas Tech could be dangerous. Can the Sooners continue to win and start playing up to their preseason hype?
