College Football Week 11: 5 teams on upset alert

Have I flown off the deep end? Maybe. The Michigan Wolverines open as 22-point favorites over the Iowa Hawkeyes, which is far too steep, if you ask me. You have to remember that this Iowa team nearly won the Big Ten title last season and finished the regular season 12-0 in 2015. The Hawkeyes returned a ton of talent, but it hasn’t lived up to the hype.

The Hawkeyes have guys such as Desmond King and C.J. Beathard who were supposed to be All-Big Ten candidates, but that just hasn’t been the case. King still happens to be one of the best cornerbacks in the country but Beathard has been a huge disappointment.

Michigan, on the other hand, has been an incredible power from the Big Ten East. The Wolverines have been disposing of opponents all season long, making it look relatively easy. In fact, the Wolverines have one of the largest average margins of victory in the country and they have just two wins that have been by less than 10 points.

However, Michigan has played just two true road games this season against Michigan State and Rutgers. The Spartans are having a down year, to say the least, and still managed to keep the game within 10 points and the Hawkeyes could do the same.

Playing under the lights at Kinnick Stadium, this could go down as a mammoth upset.
