Top College Football Teams on Upset Alert for Week 8

Week 8 of college football brings a lighter schedule, but it is often when surprises occur. Following a weekend where five top-10 teams lost, the stakes are high as teams aim to solidify their College Football Playoff (CFP) positions.

UCF is set to face BYU, with Keyone Jenkins starting his fifth game in place of the injured Alonza Barnett III. Meanwhile, Indiana will challenge Michigan, who has struggled offensively, and the Hoosiers need a win to maintain their CFP hopes. Additionally, Houston could upset Utah, which would shake up the playoff picture further.

South Carolina is favored against Tennessee, despite their poor conference record, while Auburn hosts LSU in a rivalry game that could impact both teams' playoff aspirations. The outcomes of these matchups could significantly alter the CFP landscape as the first rankings approach.
