Week Two Upsets and Best Game to Watch

Week two presents only one matchup between ranked teams, Ohio State and USC, but quite a few chances for unranked upsets.

Can Ohio State beat USC? Probably not, but if a Big Ten teams wants to beat the Trojans before the Rose Bowl now would be the time. Taking advantage of a freshman quarterback at home worked for the Buckeyes against Colt McCoy his freshmen year, and forcing Barkley into mistakes is definately the game plan.

It's seems a bit unthinkable but Syracuse might be able to give Penn State a game this week. Syracuse is a program excited for the new year, should have pulled out the Minnesotta game last week, and has a Duke point gaurd running QB. Penn State looked good against Akron. But who cares about looking good against akron.

LSU did not look good against Wahsington, failed to come together last year until the bowl game. Vanderbuilt exploded last week, had a breakout year in 2008 even though they could not live up the hype of top ten ranking, add the SEC rivalry angle and you have the formula for an upset.

Marshall always gives big name opponents troubles, perhaps they give Virginia Tech a game but after the nation got a glimpse of how good Virginia Tech is (even though they lost) I doubt the upset idea bears fruit.

Michigan is going to pull the upset and beat Notre Dame at the Big House if they keep Todd Forcier on the field and end the quarterback shuffling.

The best game this week is going to be Georgia Tech and Clemson, an early season ACC matchup on thursday night that will allow the eyes of the college football nation to get a good long look at the scary option attack of the yellow jackets.
