READ MORE:
Ready for another week? I doubt anyone is as eager to get Week 2 under their belt than Lloyd Carr. Here's your complete rundown of expert picks compared to the fans. A much better slate than last week, but still not many upsets are being predicted.

Boldest Picks:
Matt Hayes (SportingNews): South Florida over Auburn, Vandy over Alabama
Tom Dienhart

Brandon Funston (Yahoo!): South Carolina over Georgia
Darrin Darst (CBS): South Carolina over Georgia
Olin Buchanan (Rivals): Oregon over Michigan

As you can see, not too many "experts" are feeling adventurous yet.

I'm surprised, 100% experts and 92 for PSU over the Irish. That seems so high.

Given it's ND, I am a little surprised. But consider I doubt a freshman QB has won his first ever career start on the road in Happy Valley. Things could get ugly Saturday.

I'm surprised by the overwhelming support for LSU. I know that's a tough place to play, but VT will show up. Last week was probably a tough situation to maintain energy all game. After all the buildup, it looked like they just lost their intensity after kickoff.

I am surprised that the fans didn't over react from the Michigan loss. More so because Oregon runs the spread offense and runs it better than most in the country.

I am thinking a week full of upsets this week.
