I see four possible upsets today:

Navy def Notre Dame - Remember, this is a Navy team that was at one point a 2 point conversion away from tying Ohio State in the Horseshoe. I've just got a feeling that the Fighting Irish might be looking ahead to the Pitt game next week.

Duke def North Carolina - the Blue Devils need one more win to be bowl eligible for the first time since I was in diapers. In order to do so, they will have to pull an upset. Is there a better time to do so than against your arch rivals?

LSU def Alabama - Let's face it: Bama has no offense. Meanwhile, I think LSU has just enough. LSU wins by 3.

Nebraska def Oklahoma - Both teams have had quite the disappointing year, with Oklahoma losing QB Sam Bradford and Nebraska going from National Title hopes to being upset by Iowa State. Expect a close game in Lincoln. In the end, I say Nebraska makes it to a 6-3 record after this one.

Bama will win. The SEC can't afford to have them lose.

I'm betting on at least 2 ridiculous calls in the bama lsu game.

If you had Northwestern over Iowa, you may very well be correct (NW 14-10 at the half and Iowa down to a red-shirt freshman QB.

I was thinkin in the 8 or 9 range.

LSU always get screwed on calls at Bama. Just get ready for it.

Iowa is losing 14-10 to Northwestern late in the 3rd quarter. We will see what happens in the 4th quarter, and as I speak it is the end of the 3rd quarter.

I'll be shocked if Zero U loses to Nebraska.

Good grief, give it a rest. We could say we always get screwed on calls at LSU. Just how do you think you always get screwed at Alabama when your record is so great AT Alabama?

November 7, 2009  08:54 PM ET

Iowa loses to Northwestern 17-10, for their first loss of the season.

OK, I'm shocked. WTF? Did anyone watch the game? Who's the Jekyll/Hyde team - Zero U or Nebraska?

Me, too! I was on travel yesterday ... now I'm glad I didn't watch. I gather the OU O-line was pretty much overmatched against the Nebraska DL. Ugh. What a season.

Other than Texas the Big 12 is this year's ACC. A bunch of decent to bad teams with none that are worth writing home about.
