Colorado State beat Colorado today. I'm guessing they'll handle NDSU as well.

Colorado is likely worse than NDSU, though. CU & CSU have both sucked for a while now.

UNH @ Minnesota, ISU @ EMU, and NDSU & Colorado State are all plausible. I also picked UC Davis to upset SJSU in my preseason picks, but I'm not so sure after the Spartans' surprisingly strong showing against Stanford Thursday.

EWU could beat Wazzu, but I'd be surprised. BYU is quite a bit better than the Eagles.

I don't see EIU beating Western Michigan. The Panthers looked surprisingly good against Southern Illinois, but they were still 2-9 last year and the Broncos are far from the worst the MAC's got.

I picked NAU to upset UNLV in the preseason, but Thursday's loss was an unmitigated disaster for the 'Jacks. If Bauman can't go, they don't have much of a shot.

CSU's offense is horrible and defense is our strength. CSU's front 7 on defense are not too bad so we'll see how our offense does. NDSU can run and pass effectively.

I'll be surprised if NDSU loses this game.

EWU and Ill State have a good shot also.
