Bowl Upsets

Featured Replies

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

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 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.

I think they'll cover...... I also think Wisconsin will beat Georgia and Tennessee over Texas A&M.

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.

Iowa, Wisconsin, VA Tech, West Virginia, and Boise St.

 

 

Those are my upsets.

Purdue will lose, they always choke.

Whatever he did, couldn't he of did it back in November?

Purdue will lose, they always choke.

They'd have to choke Cubs style, considering Andrew Walter is out for ASU.

Purdue will lose, they always choke.

Please don't say that with those 2 teams in your sig... :ph34r: :crying

Iowa over LSU or Arizona St. over Purdue, take your pick.

GO MICHIGAN!!!!!!

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.
