Im going with North Texas because the fact they were considered the worst Div I team in football last year and Ball State was considered a upset special for any BSC team they played...

I know the BYU game is the sexy pick but honestly they usually get upset by somebody every other year. TCU anyone???

BYU beating Oklahoma isn't really all that big of an upset. The Cougars are pretty damn good this year. Same with Boise State and Oregon. Boise should have absolutely blown out the Ducks, but it was just a really sloppy game. Honestly, I'd say Bowling Green beating mid-major power Troy by 17 points is the biggest upset of the week, but that's just me.

I went with BGSU. Any team that Dave Clawson coaches beating anyone should be considered a major upset.

You may want to study Clawson's record as a HC.

Clawson has a history of turning programs around. He would have been a good OC at UT, except for one little thing. Fulmer's meddling.

Clawson was last year's fall guy for Fulmer.

Personally OU looks very mediocre. On paper I'd agree with most that the hype around OU would lend one to think this was a huge upset, but.... Even with Bradford in the game I didn't think they were very good. Definitely not 3rd in the Nation.

I detest BYU. That said, it is incredibly disrespectful to what they've accomplished on the field the last 30 or so years to act as if them winning a game on a semineutral field against a team playing a QB with no experience for a half is remotely as shocking as Virginia losing to William & Mary.

I agree. However, OU wasn't exactly rippin it up when Bradford was in. I don't think BYU wins if Bradford isn't hurt, but not a blowout. OU is just a little down this year. I think their O-line problems are a little worse than initially feared.

It also didnt help that OU's defense looked like a version of 3rd and Chavis. They couldnt make the stops and BYU did. I am with Hat and others the W&M upset over UVA is much more shocking than a really good BYU team beating OU on a neutral field.

The William & Mary/ Virginia game, total oversight on my part, should be on the list...

As for the Duke/Richmond game, meh. Its not like this hasn't happened before, Richmond beat them 3 years ago 13-0.
