After an opening weekend where four mid-majors and another three FCS teams knocked off Power Five schools, who is due for an upset in Week 2?

Last weekend kicked off the 2016 season with a bang, as teams from all five major conferences suffered defeats to lower-tier competition. Houston’s win over Oklahoma headlined the surprises, but we also saw Southern Miss take down Kentucky, South Alabama knock off another SEC opponent in Mississippi State, and Western Michigan survive a showdown at Northwestern. Meanwhile FCS schools were wreaking their own havoc, as Richmond downed Virginia, Northern Iowa toppled Iowa State, and Eastern Washington overpowered Washington State.

Each week we will provide a full schedule of Group of Five vs. Power Five matchups and a separate chart of FCS vs. Power Five contests, highlighting those games of greatest upset potential or which might have the biggest impact should an upset occur. Here are the games on upset watch for Week 2:
