this could be a good weekend of upsets.
in the realm of football I am a big fan of mindsets and swagger. for a good mindset on the professional football level, take a look at teams like the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers. at the college level, I think that teams like the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Oregon Ducks (at least offensively) have a good mindset on their shoulders.
Bama VS Florida - FLA has improved leaps and bounds from their season opening debacle against the "almighty" Miami Redhawks. Florida has swagger defensively, and Bama's got swag offensively. the Bama D is good but I feel like one can get some big plays out of them because they are a bit green at some positions. FLA is a team that is still trying to figure out who they are, and although I would love to see an upset I don't think it is going to happen. at the very least, it should be a close game.
Oregon VS Stanford - the first time these two teams have met being ranked in the Top 10 for a very very long time. Stanford needs to keep that opulent Oregon offense off the field, and I feel like they can with their disciplined rushing attack (thanks to the great Coach Harbough) and with a little sprinkling of Andrew Luck. I feel that Stanford can pull the upset here.
Miami VS Clemson - in the midst of other more sexy games, a lot of college football fans are not paying attention to this game. as much as I want Miami to win and to return to their level of greatness, I could very well see the Tigers pulling out the W. I don't have enough balls to call it right here and right now, but I think it is very possible.
Ohio State VS Illinois - Illinois has upset OSU in the past, thanks to the immense talent of players like Juice Williams and Rashard Mendenhall. that aforementioned upset happened AT the Horseshoe, so it is even more commendable because Coach Tressel doesn't usually allow for Big Ten teams to come in on the road and steal a W. despite the ghosts of Illinois/Ohio State's past, and despite the fact that Coach Zooker knows how to draw up a game plan against the Buckeyes, I think OSU will take the victory easy, but not as easy as the homers around here foresee.
Penn State VS Iowa - I don't think Iowa is good as the pundits or myself thought so in the beginning of the season. and the Nittany Lions are most definitely getting better game after game. I see this game being close, but I think that Iowa pulls out the win in a close game that features just how much PSU has gotten better since their Bama thumping.
finally, an all-around great Saturday of college football. the out of conference games can mostly be a snooze fest. anybody else care to comment on what could be a day of upsets?
