November opens with key conference games and a few showdowns against Power Five teams. Here are five Group of Five squads that could snatch upsets in Week 10.
We are now entering the stretch run of the 2017 college football season. Some teams are in the midst of battles to win their respective conferences. Others are merely trying to get to bowl eligibility. In every case, wins get a little sweeter as the weather turns colder and the opportunities for statement wins drift away.
Some teams from the Group of Five face critical conference matchups. Yet others are taking on Power Five opponents with a chance to make a name ahead of the postseason. Plenty of teams that the oddsmakers call underdogs could easily snatch wins this week.
In four out of the five games featured on this week’s list, road teams will try to pull off upsets. The last is a long-standing conference rivalry between interstate rivals. Every win is sweet, for sure, especially this time of year when the end of the regular season nears. No matter the case, though, a win in Week 10 would be just a little sweeter if these teams manage to outsmart the bookies.
So who are the biggest Group of Five upset threats in Week 10? Keep reading for our selection of the top five that could play Cinderella this week and score another momentum-building victory to kick off the final month before the postseason. (All betting lines courtesy of Sportsbook Review.)
