Here's a list of every game played by a top 25 team this coming weekend. In orange I highlighted games between two top 25 teams. In red are the games I feel offer the biggest chance for an upset. And in green is the one can't miss game of the week. Thoughts on possible upsets or advancement opportunities for the []_[]? Other than "beat UNC", of course.

#1 Alabama vs Arkansas
#2 Oregon vs Washington State
#3 Clemson vs #5 FSU
#4 Ohio State vs Iowa
#6 LSU vs Ole Miss
#7 TAMU vs #24 Auburn
#8 Louisville vs UCF
#9 UCLA vs #13 Stanford
#10 Miami vs UNC
#11 South Carolina vs Tennessee
#12 Baylor vs Iowa State
#14 Missouri vs #22 Florida
#15 Georgia vs Vanderbilt
#16 Texas Tech vs West Virginia
#17 Fresno State vs UNLV
#18 Oklahoma vs Kansas
#19 Virginia Tech --- BYE
#20 Washington vs Arizona State
#21 Oklahoma State vs TCU
#23 Northern Illinois vs Central Michigan
#25 Wisconsin vs Illinois

Not sure how Stanford beating ucla at home could be considered an upset. Or ucla winning for that matter being an upset. It's just a good even matchup.

I'm just defining upset as lower ranked team beats higher ranked team. Keeping it simple

we could move up another three spots next week.

UCLA will fall to stanford I believe, the loser of the Clemson FSU game will fall, and I think aTm may lose to Auburn

not to mention if Louisville shows up against UCF
 
I don't see Tennessee beating USC. UT is really bad. I think they blew their wad against UGA and I think USC will roll them. UCF can beat UL, but I have a feeling UL plays their best game of the year against their only "tough" opponent. I expect Stanford to bounce back and beat UCLA though.

I don't see Tenn beating anyone with a pulse.

Me neither really. They'll beat Kentucky and possibly Vanderbilt. Doubt they beat Mizzou, even without Franklin. Doubt they beat Auburn, though I'm not sold on Auburn. They won't beat Bama. Butch Jones is going to need a lot more bricks.
