This list is comprised of teams that may be overlooking their current opponents due to a big game coming up the following week. Last week, Kansas State, West Virginia, Florida, Arizona State, and Texas A&M were put on look-ahead alert. Those teams finished 4-1, with West Virginia notching the only upset loss. However, those teams only went 2-3 against the spread, with Arizona State and Florida providing the covers. This week's teams are:
Notre Dame--This Week: vs BYU; Next Week: @ #9 Oklahoma
Next week Notre Dame will try to prove themselves as national title contenders against an OU squad that is finally living up to preseason expectations. However, this week they will play a BYU team that will limp into South Bend following a 42-24 home loss to Oregon State.
Cincinnati--This Week: @ Toledo; Next Week: @ #16 Louisville
One week before what may be the battle for the Big East vs Louisville, Cincinnati will travel to the Glass Bowl to play an underrated Toledo team that is capable of putting up some points.
Georgia--This Week: @ Kentucky; Next Week: vs #2 Florida
It would be easy for the Bulldogs to overlook a struggling Kentucky team at any time, let alone the week before their biggest game of the year against rival Florida.
Mississippi State--This Week: vs Middle Tennessee; Next Week: @ #1 Alabama
This is a classic letdown spot for a team that has struggled early against inferior opponents (won 30-24 @Troy, won 20-10 vs South Alabama). They are undefeated, coming off a quality win vs Tennessee, and they have a huge opportunity at Alabama on the 27th, but first they will face a pesky Sun-Belt opponent who already got a win at Georgia Tech this season.
