Texas State Bobcats at Arkansas Razorbacks (Saturday/7:30 pm)

Okay, so this is probably the least likely of the upset bids on this week’s list. But if Texas State, a dark-horse candidate in a wide-open Sun Belt race this season, could knock off an Arkansas team that toppled TCU last weekend it would reverberate through the polls.

While everyone is rightly gushing over the Razorbacks’ overtime victory over the Horned Frogs, it is important to remember that this is the same team that needed a late touchdown just to beat Louisiana Tech by one in its season opener.

Bret Bielema’s team is ranked in the bottom third of the FBS in both passing and rushing offense, and could be ripe for a letdown after winning such an emotional game in Week 2.
