Upset Watch: Possible Week 5 Mid-Major and FCS Upsets

Contests between Power Five and Group of Five or FCS opponents are dwindling as conference play begins. Who has the chance to upset in Week 5?

After a slew of Group of Five and FCS showdowns against Power Five schools over the first month of the season, the shift toward conference games means fewer chances to see upsets. This week just four mid-major programs and one lower-division school will be taking on major-league opponents.

As such, we will dispense with the full list at the end of the schedule. Instead, let’s focus on these four contests to see if any offer the potential for an upset. So let’s look forward to the upcoming slate of games in Week 4 and break down which ones provide the greatest upset potential and/or the biggest potential impact should an upset occur. (All kickoff times listed are Eastern.)
