1. Auburn vs Hoggs
2. Miss St vs Vandy
3. Texas vs Oklahoma
4. Oklahoma St vs Missouri
5. Florida vs LSU
6. Toledo vs Michigan

Auburn was at home and lost.
Vandy being Vandy.
I don't think this was and upset
OK St now to me this was one
UF at home can't be one.
Toledo now this was a upset.
Why am I'm asking this. On the ESPN games this is what their were calling a upset.
 
You nailed it.

Of those "upsets" there was only 2...Toledo and Ok State.

I actually expected all of the others...well, maybe aside from the UT/OU game, I just expected a great game that either team could win...which is what we got.

I'm ready for Sattidy to get here so we can stomp some Rebels!
 
Like it or not, the Arkansas game was an upset. I didn't think they would win 1 SEC game this season.

Auburn being a top 25 team, picked by a lot to win the West...
 
If you look before the season started, Arky beating the Barn would have been a big upset. But, after seeing how Auburn has played this season, I thought yesterday's game was going to be a toss up.
 
The game that had the biggest impact was Mizzo losing by far. If they would have won they could possibly have moved to number 1 but oh well.

Not against Arkansas. They have had the worse defense in the SEC this year.

Auburn should have been able to run the ball with authority and put that game away early.

The surprising thing to me was that the barn couldn't run on Arkansas. That is startling. They had 56 yards rushing against a team that we ran for 328 against. UF ran for 278 against them, and Texas ran for 208 - and UT + UF are spread teams.

Something stinks in Opelika.
 
This was going to be a new Auburn team. A team that Arky didn't know HOW to plan for. A team that was going to line it up in I-formation and power the ball down Arky's throat.

Arkansas over Auburn is my upset of the week.

I agree. Going into that game, Arkansas' statistics were also somewhat skewed in that all three of their losses came to teams that are in the AP top 5 as of today. Even if they had lost those games badly, they weren't going to be intimidated by Auburn after the brutal schedule they had already played to that point. And, I saw flashes of Arkansas moving the ball fairly well against us, especially in the first half. That, combined with the mid-week tomfoolery down on the plains spelt doom for the Barn, IMO.
 
Toledo over Michigan was an upset. That's only Toledo's second win of the year....just can't figure out the Rockets. They lost to FIU by 19 points. But they took a ranked Fresno State team to overtime, before losing 55-54...and then they beat Michigan. They have Northern Illinois next and in true small team style, will probably lose that one by 30.

Arkansas over Auburn was an upset as well. No matter how bad Auburn's offense has played this year, they are still better than Arkansas, or so it would seem. I don't think Auburn would ever go out and lose to Bama by 35 like Arky did...or lose by 42 points to Texas, or have to rely on a 4th quarter comeback to beat both Western Illinois (that's right, the mighty Leathernecks) and UL-Monroe.

OK State vs. Missouri...not so much an upset. This is the one i saw coming a mile away. Oklahoma State was undefeated and ranked coming into this game, so it's not much of a surprise.
