Upset Watch: Possible Week 4 Mid-Major and FCS Upsets
By Zach Bigalke
As conferences begin league play, there are fewer opportunities for Group of Five and FCS upsets. Who has a chance to upset a Power Five team in Week 4?
Over the first three weeks of the season we have been treated to one upset after another as Group of Five and FCS schools have taken on Power Five opposition and come away victorious. As the end of summer turns over into autumn and conference play begins around the country, though, fewer opportunities will arise each week for upsets.
This week, luckily, the quantity might have dropped but the quality of upset opportunity has remained high. So let’s look forward to the upcoming slate of games in Week 4 and break down which games provide the greatest upset potential and/or the biggest potential impact should an upset occur. You can also find a full schedule of Group of Five vs. Power Five matchups and a separate chart of FCS vs. Power Five contests at the end of this article. (All kickoff times listed are Eastern.)
