RE: week 1 best upset possibility
I wouldn't really consider WKU beating Vandy an upset nor Marshall beating Purdue either but since you listed them the Toppers will roll Vandy. The true best upset chance is USM hosting Miss State.

Marshall is a 7.5-8.5 favorite over Purdue.

Now, if you mean for Purdue over Marshall, then thats a valid option.

RE: week 1 best upset possibility
I probably shouldn't have used upset as WKU and Marshall are probably if not already favored. Title could be "best chance to beat a P5 team

WKU is a 2 point dog, so it would be an upset technically.

RE: week 1 best upset possibility
If by upset you mean the favored team losing, I would say WKU over Vandy.

If by upset you mean us over P5, then Marshall is the best pick.

If you mean true upset by a highly favored team losing to a big underdog like Michigan losing to App St, then I would take So Miss over Miss St. UTEP and UTSA have no shot IMO.

Not at all. But Arky is loaded and should live up to the hype this year for a change. If it was UTEP against Vandy or Purdue and maybe Arizona, I wouldn't have any trouble picking them.

WKU.........Doughty is playing his 8th or 9th season on the hill and Marshall breaking in a new starter. Doughty's experience gives the Toppers my vote.

Is Marshall vs Purdue really an upset? The spread is only 2.5

UTEP only has a chance because it gets Arkansas on Week 1.

A lot can happen when no one has played a snap.
