December 20, 200421 yr Out of the following bowl games, which one(s) have the best chance for an upset? I'm hoping for Michigan over Texas obviously, but don't feel good about it. Not talking point spread necessarily, cuz Utah is favored by 16 and that is tough to pick. I think Oklahoma will beat USC, not sure if it is an upset though. Sun-Arizona St. vs. Purdue (-7) Liberty-Louisville (-13) vs. Boise St. Peach-Miami(FL) (-2.5) vs. Florida Outback-Georgia (-7)vs. Wisconsin Cotton-Texas A&M (-3.5)vs. Tennessee Gator-West Virginia vs. Florida St. (-8) Capital One-Iowa vs. LSU (-6.5) Rose-Michigan vs. Texas (-6) Fiesta-Utah (-16.5) vs. Pittsburgh Sugar-Auburn (-6.5)vs. Virginia Tech Orange-USC (-3) vs. Oklahoma
December 20, 200421 yr I'm leaning on putting a couple of bucks on Pittsburgh to cover..... anyone think I shouldn't AND have a good argument behind you? lol
December 20, 200421 yr I don't think any of those could be considered upsets, unless Pitt beats Utah. As far as the spread goes, I think VT can beat the 6.5 Auburn is giving them. Most of those games feature closely matched teams, including UM and UT. I could see Iowa beating LSU.
December 20, 200421 yr I'm leaning on putting a couple of bucks on Pittsburgh to cover..... anyone think I shouldn't AND have a good argument behind you? lol I think they'll cover...... I also think Wisconsin will beat Georgia and Tennessee over Texas A&M.
December 20, 200421 yr I think they'll cover...... I also think Wisconsin will beat Georgia and Tennessee over Texas A&M. Tennessee WILL beat Texas A&M
December 20, 200421 yr Author I'm leaning on putting a couple of bucks on Pittsburgh to cover..... anyone think I shouldn't AND have a good argument behind you? lol I wouldn't have the guts to do it. It is a crap match up to make the BCS look good. Utah should face better competition than Pitts. That said, Utah's offense is fun to watch. They run the option in various ways and run it well.
December 21, 200421 yr Which means that LSU is now a lock! Don't look now, I picked Mich over Texas too
December 21, 200421 yr Ohio St. QB Troy Smith has been suspended and will not play in the Alamo Bowl.
December 21, 200421 yr Ohio St. QB Troy Smith has been suspended and will not play in the Alamo Bowl. I'm changing my pick
December 21, 200421 yr Author Ohio St. QB Troy Smith has been suspended and will not play in the Alamo Bowl. Whatever he did, couldn't he of did it back in November?
December 21, 200421 yr Purdue will lose, they always choke. They'd have to choke Cubs style, considering Andrew Walter is out for ASU.
December 21, 200421 yr Purdue will lose, they always choke. Please don't say that with those 2 teams in your sig...
December 22, 200421 yr Sun-Arizona St. vs. Purdue (-7) Liberty-Louisville (-13) vs. Boise St. Peach-Miami(FL) (-2.5) vs. Florida Outback-Georgia (-7)vs. Wisconsin Cotton-Texas A&M (-3.5)vs. Tennessee Gator-West Virginia vs. Florida St. (-8) Capital One-Iowa vs. LSU (-6.5) Rose-Michigan vs. Texas (-6) Fiesta-Utah (-16.5) vs. Pittsburgh Sugar-Auburn (-6.5)vs. Virginia Tech Orange-USC (-3) vs. Oklahoma There's honestly not a game in there that doesn't have a decent chance of being an upset. I typed out some that I thought were "gimmies" but the more I wrote the more I realized it could be an upset also. Whether its Pitt's players upset at the school for the Harris handling, or Michigan's, Tenn's talent, or Iowa's coaching, FSU's offense, or Boise's offense, I can honestly see any of the above turning into an upset. I think Auburn, Utah, and Lousville have the best shot at being "for sure" things though, just my opinion.
