Since the first football game gets kicked off in 3 hours, it is time for my weekly upset alert. Usually the first week consists of a lot of big schools smashing the skull of some glorified middle school team, so choosing a few top 25 schools that should be on the lookout could be difficult.
Like last year’s opening week, I am going to put South Carolina on upset watch. I think the Gamecocks are one of the best teams in the country, but will likely be overlooked again in the SEC. North Carolina usually has a few NFL players on their roster each year, so it is possible that the Tar Heels can keep the score close for a little while. Eventually, South Carolina should be able to pull away for a comfortable victory.
My other potential upset to watch out for this week is when Boise State travels to Washington. Coach Sarkesian is still recruiting well for the Huskies, and it is only a matter of time before the playmakers show up on the field. Boise is the Gonzaga of college football, so most of the time I think they are ranked because some mid-major needs to be and why not the one we have all heard of. Since the Huskies are at home for this game I actually expect them to win and ‘pull off the upset’.
