Call out the 2005 big upsets!

[gstock05]

Who do you think well be the big time upsets of the year?

Last year, you could obviously list the UNC victory over Miami as a big one. Then there was the Northwestern game....


I'm going to go out and start it out by predicting a huge upset to USC's undefeated run.


USC will lost to Cal in a fairly close game. USC lost its 3 best defensive linemen to the draft, and then lost 2 linebackers.

Cal has who I see as the second best NCAA coach in Jeff Tedford. Despite the slightly pass oriented offense Cal runs, Cal is going to run up the score (literally) by pounding the ball right at USC's interior line. Marshawn Lynch is going to be as good as Adrian Peterson was last year. Mark my words. If anybody watched their bowl game, he was an absolute force as a backup to JJ Arrington.

USC's awesome offense will make it a very close game, but I think Cal will win due to being able to run the clock with a stellar run game and a homefield advantage.

Arizona State over USC.

Sorry methomps.

Fresno State over USC... tho they could lose a number of these upset bids IMO.

Let's just get it out of the way... Everybody else on USC's schedule over USC...

I'm not sure if this would really be that much of an upset, but I predict BGSU puts it to Wisconsin in Madison.

Geez, I better snatch up Stanford over USC while it's still on the board.

I'll take Boise State over Georgia.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to jlb1705 again.

That was too funny.

As for me, I'll go with the Longhorns over OU. That counts as a big upset, right?

Oh, and another one. Sept. 3: Ga Tech over Auburn, still looking back to getting screwed last season.

USC has incredible talent at every position and will have little trouble replacing their lost personnel. It is the loss of half their coaching staff that makes USC vulnerable this year.

OU kicks the fuck out of texas...again

When Texas leaves Cbus they will be rated below OU, so this one wont qualify as an upset.


I will go with Va Tech losing at VWU.

What the heck .....

ND over USC!

Its always held at the Cotton Bowl.

ND over USC!

Once again, this thread calls for upsets. I thought ND fans considered ND the favorite in every game ever played.

Not when you loose to a team by 30 several years in a row..........

Yeah I gotta go with the BSU Georgia upset. First game of the year. I think the smurf turf boys will get it done between the hedges and send Georgia on their way to a .500 season. They lost a lot of talent last year.

I agree, Boise is prime to beat Georgia.

I'll also say Oregon over SC @ Oregon
