    Default NCAAF Upset Thread - Post this week's upsets.

    I'll start it off.

    Georgia wins by 3 against Florida. Florida is the real deal however they have been plagued by injuries. The combination of last years rout and a well rested Georgia offense/defense will decide this one by a field goal.

    Oklahoma State wins by 9 against Texas. OSU is no joke and I don't think Texas has shown enough against rated opponents to be given more than a TD on the spread. We are going to see an upset here. OSU will lead throughout this matchup. Pound the UNDER as well.

    Any reason or just a hunch. That line has been pounded. Would be nice to see NC take it.

    i've been perplexed by the Michigan vs Illinois line... it looks way to easy and trappy... Illinois DOES have alot of talent. I'm not sure why they are so crappy, but they are bound to have one great game this season, so I may be taking Illini on the ml too for the hell of it, just due to Benn and Juice

    If this occurs and Iowa wins, Iowa will control their own destiny as far as making the title game.

    Hope you right.

    In fact, a Tesas loss alone would provide this, but having FLA lose also would be the icing on the cake.

    I'm done with Illinois for the rest of the season. Bettors appear to mixed on this one however your right. On paper they are a good team but fail to execute during gametime.

    I think IOWA STATE keeps their momentum and pulls off another shocker this weekend.

    Illinois may be the worst team in CFB. They are NOT bound to have one great game. Why are they so crappy... Ron Zook.

    Anyone betting on Illinois has lost their damn minds. I've faded them all year straight to the bank. Here is all you need to know. Fade the Zooker

    Illinois: 1-6 SU, 0-5-1 ATS

    Vandy's offense sucks balls but there defense is very disciplined which could cause a very one dimensional GT problems. Vandy's problems on defense has been in the passing game so I think they may be up for the task. GT's defense is smothering so I don't expect Vandy to put up many points either. This is going to be either a big GT win like 30-3 or a close nail biter with Vandy maybe in an upset 13-10. Either way the under is a damn... Wait for it, I'm going to say it. I don't give a dam...

    I've hammered the under in this game.

    I wonder how much last week's battle against ND was built into the line when it was set?

    My best bets would be WMichigan, CMichigan, SCarolina, and Colorado.

    I would be shocked to see NC State win that football game.

    35/65 split on the under and climbing Mac...don't know how much value can be placed on 5Dimes consensus but notable nonetheless.

    Notre Dame is a weaker team than the public understands. Just look at the line they got against Washington St. all the other lines have been 34+. Plus Boston College looks at ND as a rival. Boston College is the same team that got boat-raced by VT. Add the Fact VT just ran HB Dive to go on to score 4 TD's straight.

    Hindsight??? I've been saying to fade Illini since they got their asses kicked by a piss poor Mizzou (who I've also said to fade). I don't care who both of these teams are playing... Fade them to the bank. They both have failed my eye test. Both are very soft teams that don't like to hit

    I can vouch for that. He has been Zook bashing since their first loss to MIzzou.

    good luck i watched armys QB steelman run for almost 100 yards on vandy and he has nothing on nesbit. I think nesbit could have a big game I hope you are right though im not betting on the game and Bobby Johnsons team was very good for me last year hate to see them getting beat up like this. im a big Chris marve fan.

    That Wake play is a Joke though. Wake has no D, and Miami off a loss to probably the most talented team in the ACC isnt all that bad.

    That's all Army does...Vandy should have been better prepared

    The point is its the same type offense just GTs option is on steriods much better QB and rbs and o-line, going to be a long day for vandy that defense is going to be on the field alot because GT defense is for real. If the option is run right its almost impossible to stop imo.

    Some of these plays look like absolute blowouts but if you read between the high lines, the teams that are giving up a lot of chalk are all vulnerable. Iowa plays up/down to their competition, they have several significant injuries, great defense but their new RB is fumble prone and the offense is questionable.

    FSU's offense is high powered but the defense is horrendous. They can't stop anyone, anytime. NC State's defense is fairly good but their offense is questionable. This sets up to be a close game IMO.

    Nebraska is highly over rated. Granted Baylor hasn't beaten Nebraska in a lifetime but this is a great spot for Baylor to win. Baylor is going to move the ball in this game.

    I gave you my take on GT. I think those are the biggest chalk games but don't be surprised of the upset.

    That's my theory as well... Hopefully Vandy is better prepared this time to stop the option even though GT's running game is much better than Armies. If they can stay disciplined and get GT to go back and forth in a 3 and out marathon, any thing can happen. GT's defense is very under rated. It is lights out damn good. Vandy is not putting up a lot of points here but I do think GT is also prone to turnovers which could help Vandy.

    One things for certain, we will know in the first few series if Vandy is up to the task. This will either be a bad beat down or a close possible upset IMO.
