Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I don't see any upsets there...do you? On other sites--they claim UCLA, but winning in SLC is HARD, and I don't think the Bruins have the cajones yet. 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Joseph Moderator No. 4 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Ole Miss +7 at Bama. Saint Nick's fairy dust has disappeared seemingly overnight. But look closer and you'll see that last season even with Bryce Young at QB, Bama could have easily lost 5 games. You biff on QB evaluations and the assistant coaching turnover finally has a negative impact (Tommy Rees?) and it's free fall and not a gradual descent.

DuckFan93 No. 5 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I think Ole Miss and ND will both win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krsmqn No. 6 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I love how that jdub guy posts a link that contradicts his opinion with the facts. Can't ask for more perfect example of "go home, and try again tomorrow". As for the games, the only one that jumps off the page to me is the Bama game. I'm not saying Bama will lose, because it definitely depends on which Bama team shows up, but Ole Miss could surprise everybody. Oregon could also be in the same boat, but I'm a homer, so I won't say that . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic No. 8 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Of the 4 choices Charles shows, Ole Miss. I wouldn't bet the farm on it, or even just the chicken coop, but it seems the most likely . I know I'll be pulling for the Runnin' Rebels. Edited September 21, 2023 by Mic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goutes18 No. 9 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Don’t put any hard earned money on Utah this week. I think this is the highest chance of an upset. Still a lot of injuries and even though it sounded like Coach Whit was hinting at Rising playing, I will only believe it when I see him on the field during the game. The offense is so so without him and Kuthie and last years game had a strong Utah defense get completely outplayed and outschemed, so not too confident. If Rising plays, the team should get a big emotional boost and can probably win at home, but that is a big unknown so save your money this week.

Keep in mind that Utah is at home and playing against a true Freshman QB. He’s really good, but he’s untested. Rice-Eccles isn’t a great place to make your PAC-12 debut as a visitor. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EzDucksIt No. 11 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Sometimes the Home Crowd is the Twelfth Player and The type to Keep everyone's Head in the Game. You need the Crowd support. Arizona has that Atmosphere. I believe in UTAH but if injuries are YOUR Achilles' heel, watch out! Quality Depth is so important at key spots. Oregon is in that position, last year proved it. Talent on the team but an uncomfortable back up QB, Dennis Dixon anyone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar No. 12 Share Posted September 22, 2023 When there is only a 5 rank difference between teams in week 4 I'm not sure you call it an upset. I mean really. There's a reason CFP meeting don't start until after the midpoint of the season. I'm not even sure the 10 rank spread for Utah vs UCLA would qualify it as an upset. Nobody knows just how good UCLA really is this year, because all we have so far is a narrative about who they lost, but they've destroyed bad teams.

Nevada Dawg No. 13 Share Posted September 22, 2023 With a little help from Touchdown Gosh, ND just might take down the Bucs. That's one I'd love to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
