Yo! You’re hip to this by now, right? I asked y’all for some upset predictions in Week 1 and you guys delivered with plenty of picks. So let’s look over those and salivate at the thought of pure chaos.

Personally I’m in between a few picks here. I like Northern Illinois over Boston College, South Alabama taking down Tulane, and have a lot of hope for Duke to defeat Clemson as well as Northern Iowa getting the FCS a win over Iowa State. I’m all over the place. Let’s check in with you guys…

Kirby Smart needs to stop paying Tweets to spread Georgia doubt smh. Just getting more bulletin board material. Sad.

I just can’t wait to watch this game man. Would be nuts if Taylen Green and the squad can pull this off against a superb Washington team that I’ve got in my playoff.

Give me some Finn. Noggin. DUDE. If you didn’t get the “Finding Nemo” reference I’m not sure what to do. Dequan Finn is pretty good, and Quinyon Mitchell is very good. It’ll be an ugly, low-scoring slobberknocker and who knows, maybe Toledo can get it done for the MAC.

My followers really need to think of less obvious picks. Everybody knows Marlon Gunn Jr. is beating Michigan all by himself.

It better be 25 for the sake of the Ferentz family.

As Connor Roy once said, “The Connheads are coming.” Well, he kinda said that. I’m not positive he was referencing Jim Mora’s powerhouse of a program. Nonetheless, The Connheads are coming. Beware of the Huskies.

I would be incredibly shocked by this result. The trenches that Colorado has on both sides of the ball is really really really bad. Horrifyingly bad.

I’m so excited to watch this game for a multitude of reasons.

Miami wins.

Keg knows.

New Mexico’s mascot is calling his shot. Gotta respect it!

West Virginia fans do not lack confidence in the slightest.

Chase sees the vision. Yam Banks and that South Alabama defense are no joke. The Jaguars have the most complete team in the Group of Five.

Virginia keeping it close with Tennessee would be a bigger upset than Clemson losing.

This would be quite bad for all my Minnesota takes.

With the score prediction too. Graham Mertz is on top of the world.

Portland State doesn’t drop games in Oregon. That’s just what folks are saying.

LOCK OF THE WEEK.

Grayson McCall to Jared Brown at the Rose Bowl might just rival Jake Haener to Jalen Cropper at the Rose Bowl.

Shhhhhh.

The streets get what they desire.

I am a diehard UCLA fan that has enjoyed (?) mediocrity year after year. My favorite CFB moment was witnessing UCLA comeback from 34 down against Texas A&M. Being at the Rose Bowl for that historic moment is something I’ll never forget. I have written about CFB since I was 14 and my favorite thing to do is give under-the-radar athletes the recognition they deserve. You might know me from @NoContextCFB !
