Charleston Southern at Miami
Upset potential: Miami hasn't been Miami for years and might be looking ahead to Florida on Sept. 6.
Reality check: Charleston Southern went to Hawaii last year and got trounced, 66-10.
Western Illinois at Arkansas
Upset potential: Bobby Petrino haters in Atlanta show up to game wearing Michael Vick masks.
Reality check: Western Illinois returns 18 starters, so the Leathernecks might be able to hang, well, tough.
Western Michigan at Nebraska
Upset potential: Have you seen Nebraska's defense this century?
Reality check: Cornhuskers Coach Bo Pelini wouldn't dare lose his debut with Athletic Director Tom Osborne sitting in the press box.
Youngstown St. at Ohio State
Upset potential: Ohio State looks so far ahead to USC on Sept. 13 it affects team's national-title vision.
Reality check: Ohio State isn't Michigan.
Villanova at West Virginia
Upset potential: West Virginia was also heavily favored to win its last home game . . . against Pittsburgh.

Reality check: With all its problems, Iowa had better not take the lobsters lightly.
Chattanooga at Oklahoma

Upset potential: Georgia Southern beat Appalachian State last year.
Reality check: "Win one for Uga!" is all the motivation Georgia needs.
Northern Iowa at Brigham Young

Reality check: Northern Iowa beat Iowa State last year.
