After posting it I did go back and change 4 and 5. I think that those 2 could be a toss up for least favorite chance IMO

RE: Best chance for Week 1 win vs a P5 team
Thanks for the respect. I believe North Texas can go into Austin and give the Horns a good game. I'm really hoping Strong's team doesn't have a solid understanding of his offense and defense in week 1. North Texas will have to play a perfect game.

I think FAU has a chance against Nebraska. Even though FAU fired Bo Pelini's brother, and I'm sure he'll be looking to avenge his family, I still think FAU has a chance to take this game into the 3rd or 4th quarter. I believe FAU will have a really good defense again. They may be the best defense in C-USA this season. If they can put an offense together, they could be dangerous in the eastern division.

RE: Best chance for Week 1 win vs a P5 team
You guys do realize that the same Miss State team that blasted Rice 44-7 in the liberty bowl is returning just about everyone? I'm not being a Rice homer, but that Miss State is very good.

With that said, this is my order of prediction:

1. North Texas at Texas
2. FAU at Nebraska
3. Rice at Notre Dame
4. La Tech at Oklahoma
5. USM at Miss State

WKU plays at Illinois on 9/6 . . . . I guess you left our game off since IL isn't really a P5 football team.

Edit: Saw where you were looking at week 1 games. WKU plays UI on week 2. Doesn't matter if the game is week 1 or week 2, we have a good chance to win that one.

1. UNT (Hell, if I had just a bit more confidence in UNT's QB situation, I would outright pick them for the upset)
2. FAU (Hope for the best, prepare for the worst)
3. Rice
4. LaTech
5. USM (In state game, you never know)

Oklahoma is the best of the bunch. USM or UNT has best shot.

Miss St. most likely is that good. But USM will be hungry to shut them up for the first time in a while. If Monken or someone can properly convey to the team the history of being oppressed by Miss St and Ole Miss, and that they've ducked you all for years, I think there's a shot at the upset. The instate bragging rights helps you more than it does them, too, because they will look at you as a given win in their home opener.

I think Southern Miss will play way above our heads and give them a game. But we were horrible last year. Baby steps... Improvement is as good as a win when you live in the land of 1-23. We will be back, I'm sure of it. Just not beating an SEC team on the road quite yet.

Surprised by people underrating Rice and/or overrrating Notre Dame. No way is that the least likely of the bunch.

Totally agree:

NT
Rice
FAU
La. Tech
USM

If I wasn't a UNT homer, I might pick Rice as the most likely.

RE: Best chance for Week 1 win vs a P5 team
How's Nebraska going to look this year? I do not even care about the Pellini family honor being an issue here. FAU is returning a decent portion of both the offense and the defense, so we can have an outside chance.

I would, probably, still pick Rice and NT ahead of us.
