Week one- Which FCS team is most likely to upset an FBS opponent?
In week 1...I think that's gotta be James Madison "upsetting" East Carolina. I almost wouldn't even call that an upset though, although technically by division level, it is.
Other "decent chances" at an upset:
Fordham @ Army
Eastern Washington @ Texas Tech
Cal Poly @ San Jose State
Northern Iowa @ Iowa State
Youngstown State @ Pitt
Albany @ Old Dominion
I don't think any of these would "blow my mind" if the upsets happened.

As much as I'd like to say we are going to beat them, its not likely. I would like to beat them then have the pigs of UA-fayetteville play them in a bowl game and lose. Would be delicious in-state justice. xlolx
Week 2....
MONTANA over Washington....book it..book it.
