Two most likely (note, I don't expect any of these, but....)

UCLA over Tennessee.

NC State over S. Carolina.

I think Utah will beat Michigan and UCLA over UT would be my picks for upsets this weekend.

If I had to pick I would say UCLA could very well beat UT and Utah could beat Michigan.

The NC State/ SC game could go either way. That wouldn't really be an upset.

While watching an SEC show on ESPN this week, they were discussing as if Perrilloux might return to LSU which would give them a shot to win the SEC West. Is that a legitimate possibility or were these announcers just pontificating?

I remember his first year at WVU the year before we had gone 8-4 and defeated Ole Miss in the Music City Bowl in Nashville and his first year at WVU we went 3-8. We had a lot of returning players as well. My point is this. He does not have very many returning players, new system, etc. If Michigan will stay with him he will be okay. The problem maybe that he will be several years before he beats OSU. If he loses to OSU 4-5 times straight, look out. That being said, Michigan this year will do well to go 6-6.

And that's my honest feeling although I hope the finish worse.

At least you are not bitter!!!!!!!! :twisted:

I don't think he will do well there. Simple reason Michigan is to much pressure. Like Dalebert said, if he loses to buckeyes several years in a row, he will be out

It looks as if La. Tech over MSU is a huge upset as this is the first ever victory for them ever over a BCS school in Ruston, La.
