Who do you have?
I think Ole Miss have revenge for last year's game on their mind and handles Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl. I see Alabama throttling Auburn.
I think Kentucky plays Louisville closer than expected and that Florida plays Florida State closer than expected (it's basically a bowl game for the latter). I wouldn't be shocked if the underdogs won either, but won't use those as my pick. Wouldn't be shocked to see TCU upset Oklahoma, but won't pick that one either. I'd take UTSA upsetting Tulane if there wasn't all types of speculation in the media about UTSA's Jeff Traylor already having interviewed with Texas A&M-- it's probably just too much of a distraction.
Who does this leave me with? Arkansas over Missouri. The Razorbacks have confirmed that Pittman has job security and I think that they're better than their record indicates and that Missouri isn't quite as good as their record indicates.
I don't think that you can really call any outcome in the Ohio State/Michigan game an "upset". Don't know if you can call Oregon State beating Oregon an upset per se either, but the Ducks are favored by about two touchdowns, so I'd say that's an upset if the Beavers can pull it off. Same logic for South Carolina/Clemson, as the Tigers are a 7.5 point favorite.
Outside of my Arkansas pick, I don't know which one it will be, but something tells me that either Oregon State/Oregon or Washington State/Washington, with all of the emotions that are going into those games, will at least be a game that ends in heartbreak for someone. It wouldn't shock me if one of the two gets upset, but I'll at least call one of those games going down to the final possession.
