Brian Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Out of the following bowl games, which one(s) have the best chance for an upset? I'm hoping for Michigan over Texas obviously, but don't feel good about it. Not talking point spread necessarily, cuz Utah is favored by 16 and that is tough to pick. I think Oklahoma will beat USC, not sure if it is an upset though. Sun-Arizona St. vs. Purdue (-7) Liberty-Louisville (-13) vs. Boise St. Peach-Miami(FL) (-2.5) vs. Florida Outback-Georgia (-7)vs. Wisconsin Cotton-Texas A&M (-3.5)vs. Tennessee Gator-West Virginia vs. Florida St. (-8) Capital One-Iowa vs. LSU (-6.5) Rose-Michigan vs. Texas (-6) Fiesta-Utah (-16.5) vs. Pittsburgh Sugar-Auburn (-6.5)vs. Virginia Tech Orange-USC (-3) vs. Oklahoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Approximately how long til Jason says Iowa-LSU.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I'm leaning on putting a couple of bucks on Pittsburgh to cover..... anyone think I shouldn't AND have a good argument behind you? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdue129 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I don't think any of those could be considered upsets, unless Pitt beats Utah. As far as the spread goes, I think VT can beat the 6.5 Auburn is giving them. Most of those games feature closely matched teams, including UM and UT. I could see Iowa beating LSU.

Rowand44 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I'm leaning on putting a couple of bucks on Pittsburgh to cover..... anyone think I shouldn't AND have a good argument behind you? lol I think they'll cover...... I also think Wisconsin will beat Georgia and Tennessee over Texas A&M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 I'm leaning on putting a couple of bucks on Pittsburgh to cover..... anyone think I shouldn't AND have a good argument behind you? lol I wouldn't have the guts to do it. It is a crap match up to make the BCS look good. Utah should face better competition than Pitts. That said, Utah's offense is fun to watch. They run the option in various ways and run it well.

Purdue129 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Purdue will lose, they always choke. They'd have to choke Cubs style, considering Andrew Walter is out for ASU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Sun-Arizona St. vs. Purdue (-7) Liberty-Louisville (-13) vs. Boise St. Peach-Miami(FL) (-2.5) vs. Florida Outback-Georgia (-7)vs. Wisconsin Cotton-Texas A&M (-3.5)vs. Tennessee Gator-West Virginia vs. Florida St. (-8) Capital One-Iowa vs. LSU (-6.5) Rose-Michigan vs. Texas (-6) Fiesta-Utah (-16.5) vs. Pittsburgh Sugar-Auburn (-6.5)vs. Virginia Tech Orange-USC (-3) vs. Oklahoma There's honestly not a game in there that doesn't have a decent chance of being an upset. I typed out some that I thought were "gimmies" but the more I wrote the more I realized it could be an upset also. Whether its Pitt's players upset at the school for the Harris handling, or Michigan's, Tenn's talent, or Iowa's coaching, FSU's offense, or Boise's offense, I can honestly see any of the above turning into an upset. I think Auburn, Utah, and Lousville have the best shot at being "for sure" things though, just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
