Upset shots, picks for Week 2

Opening week offered few challenges for the favorites, with most ranked squads winning easily. Upset Watch forewarned of TCU's exposure and managed a 5-3 mark against Vegas' expectations, but missed on the week's biggest upset, South Florida's victory over Notre Dame.

However, heading into Week 2, it's important to remember that it's often best not to overreact to the scoreboard when the production tells a different story. This week we'll explain why we're not jumping off the Irish just yet, plus we'll dissect examples of two common early-season spots: the team that's ready to make a statement this week, and the team that might get caught off guard because its mind is on the statement it's looking to make next week.
