The genie had some close calls on a couple of mayjah upsets last week (looking at you Iowa State and K-State), but the upset ones were Colorado who got left out. Apparently the 8-ball broke itself when we got to the Colorado State/Colorado game...thankfully. Let's do this.
Colorado 24 Toledo 17
There is no way the Buffs could look worse than they did on Sunday, right? I'd think again. Tyler Hansen coming out saying he's going to redshirt pretty much tosses Cody Hawkins under the pain train. I like Hansen at QB a hell of a lot more than Hawkins, who's shown nothing but to garner PT while somehow pissing off his own dad. And how long until I can officially write off Darrell Scott as being awful? Thanks for a Friday nighter ESPN!
Iowa 24 Iowa State 13
I'll be honest: This is one of my favorite rivalries outside of Mizzou's. I'm unabashedly gay for Iowa in the B10 conference. Not sure why to be honest. This rivalry has led to one of my favorite blog posts of all time. Oh, and to the game...both teams looked horrible in their first games. Iowa at least has some talent. The only thing going for ISU this year is it's in Ames. I'll say it's close until the Hawkeyes pull away late in the fourth quarter.
Nebraska 55 Arkansas State 17
Keep us impressed Bo. Seriously, another pussy team? You might have a shot at the Sun Belt title with this schedule. Order restored.
Texas 42 Wyoming 10
As much as I like Dave Christensen and his Wyoming Pokes, this isn't happening. If it did, it would be cooler than a combination of Randy Savage and Mr. T. Wyoming looked horrid last week in their "win". This one is in Laramie, which if you've been there, that makes two of us. The things I'll admit in a blog post...
Oklahoma State 49 Houston 10
I like Houston, and if any sort of upset is happening this week, this is it. Kevin Sumlin is a damn good coach for the Cougars, but I still don't see it. Okie State looked very good after some adversity in the Gawwwwgia game, and Gawwwwgia is a better team than Houston. I've never been the greatest at math, but this equation is solved; Okie State > Gawwwwgia > Houston.
Oklahoma 64 Idaho State 3
Sorry Idaho State. Had to happen to someone, and that someone is you. There hasn't been a beating like this since Jesus was on the cross, but even then, he was nailed up to that thing. You could actually not show up...he didn't have a choice.
Kansas State 21 Louisiana-Lafayette 10
K-State actually has to travel to Lafayette for this one? Wow, nice scheduling. Says enough about the state of affairs and the program that THEY HAVE TO GO TO LAFAYETTE! The Mildcats can't look worse than they did against UMass though, right? (See Colorado/Toledo preview) Well, this one is on the road, so the answer is 'yes, possibly'. For the pride of the conference, I'll go play with my Willie and a Power Towel.
Texas Tech 56 Rice 10
Remember when Rice was good the last two years? Yeah, not so much now.
Kansas 35 UTEP 14
People are picking this as an 'upset special'. I'd love to see it. Todd Reesing's Heisman campaign should get some good numbers in this one. UTEP lost a heartbreaker to Buffalo last week, and just made a truckload of mistakes. Of course, kU has a shaky LB corps, and they'll get tested by Trevor Vittatoe at QB for UTEP. Still, sadly, it doesn't happen.
