The Top 10 Team Most Likely To Be Upset Saturday, Per 538
Will we see more upsets after last weekend's madness?
There were no matchups between ranked teams last weekend. That makes for a boring slate of games, right? Wrong. There were a number of massive upsets, with several top 10 teams falling.
Will we see a similar set of outcomes this week? It's unlikely, and FiveThirtyEight isn't giving underdogs much of a chance this weekend. However, the blog's playoff predictor model is giving Kansas State a 24 percent chance at knocking off Oklahoma, meaning the Wildcats have the best chance of upsetting a top 10 team, according to FiveThirtyEight.
Here’s the list of top ten teams playing this weekend.
- Alabama is given a 97% chance to beat Tennessee
- Georgia is on a bye week
- Ohio State is on a bye week
- Wisconsin is given a 92% chance to beat Maryland
- Penn State is given an 82 % chance to beat Michigan
- TCU is given a 99% chance to beat Kansas
- Clemson is on a bye week
- Miami is given an 84% chance to beat Syracuse
- Washington is on a bye week
- Oklahoma is given a 76% chance to beat Kansas State
Keep in mind, FiveThirtyEight gave Kansas State a solid chance of knocking off TCU last week, and it didn't happen.
Still, the game is in the Little Apple, so perhaps this is the week for the Wildcats to pull off the upset at home.
