Several schools on upset watch this weekend

Although most of the schools are still in their non-conference “cupcake” mode there are couple of big names that need to avoid looking ahead, dealing with injuries, or walking into a buzzsaw. First and foremost Cal had better watch out for a very enthusiastic crowd waiting for them at the new home of the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Although ranked number 8 and at two-touchdown favorite, Cal really hasn’t been tested on the road and the GG’s may put a scare into them before if not win it on the field. Also on upset watch and this may sound strange to college football historians, but BYU had better watch out for Florida State. One of the last remaining obstacles that stand in the way of the cougars and a date with the BCS the Noles’ hae a lot of team speed that could create a problem for BYU if they start breaking off big plays or getting huge YACs. Some teams really need to keep their eye on the injury bug like LA schools. USC who managed to get one good drive when they needed it and escaped from the Horseshoe with a huge win, will not have the services of their “grown up freshman” quarterback Barkely, who miss the game because of the shoulder injury suffered against OSU. Washington is a tough place to play to begin with and they’ll be fired up and waited for the hated division rival from So. Cal. UCLA also had a QB that passed his litmus test then was lost to injury. Although at home, a Kansas State team that plays good D should easily scheme for the Bruins who will surely see a lot of 8-man box defense may have problems getting into the end zone. Who do you think is the most susceptible to an upset? Let us know here and in all of the quick links:
