James Madison is favored over Virginia so that might be one but it wouldn't be considered an upset.

[HerdEcon]

Texas State beat Baylor 42-31 and UTSA lost to Houston 14-17 last weekend.

Although not a P5 match up, Texas State vs UTSA could be a good game.  If Texas State wins that would have to be considered an upset.  It would also put the Sun Belt West on notice that Texas State is a threat to win the division rather than the "also ran" everyone expected.

Are these times and services/channels accurate? I thought Marshall was at 4 pm eastern on ESPN U.

Just checked, out game is still listed on the "U" at 4 PM Saturday.

I could see Troy shocking some people.  Kstate is known to drop a game here and there. JMU should win, they are a very well coached team, not really an upset, but according to the P5 mouth breathers JMU shouldn't be on the same field as them.

Johnny's spacing is confusing. The times and tv info are listed below the team names.

My bad, the file copied over as one giant blob and I ended up sorting it wrong.
It should be fixed now.

Im hearing Jemes Madison fired their starting QB so not sure about that one.

App State usually comes out fired up against in state schools
