Upset Picks:

Nebraska over Missouri - Missouri is undefeated and at home, but I like Nebraska's defense to harass Blaine Gabbert all day Thursday. I am perfect on Thursday night games, in case you're keeping score at home.


Arkansas over Auburn - Two of the better offenses in the SEC will be on display at high noon on Saturday. I like Arkansas to win at home behind a big day from Ryan Mallett.

Mississippi St. over Houston - We all remember what happened to East Carolina last season once their Cinderella slipper was shattered. This Houston team is better than that Pirate team, but I think Dan Mullen will pull out all the stops in Starkville.

Washington over Arizona - The Huskies just may be the best one win team in the country. I like their chances of knocking off the Wildcats Saturday night.
