Upset Poll — Monday, Feb. 5

[JavaMan]

Will there be an upset in the top 10 tonight? You only get one choice ...choose carefully.

NOTE: While the poll window states that your vote will be "publicly visible," that doesn't mean that your vote can be identified as your choice. It only means that one more vote (by count) will be visible in the results. Also, it is not possible for the poll creator to identify anyone's vote. Unless you proclaim your choice in a post, your vote (and you) will remain anonymous.

WV over Texas =home court advantage. Texas is not nearly the road team that they are at home.

 

[rvwsleep]

Are there really more Boneyarder's, at the moment, who think it's more likely that USCe beats MsSt. in Starkville than WV beats Texas in Morgantown ?

 

[Rixxx]

WV looked unimpressive over the weekend.

 

[DallasBUFan]

Texas and WV would be my pick. You just never what Texas team is going to show up. If the team that played Saturday shows up then TX wins!

 

[oldude]

I think MS St & Baylor both win at home. WV at home vs TX looks like the best possibility for an upset. UCLA is also on the road, but it’s only a crosstown drive and I don’t see USC having the horses to pull off the upset.

 

[BostonCanuck]

South Carolina will be hungry for the win after their pasting by the Huskies, and because there's a regular season conference championship at stake. And while I do think they have a decent chance at beating Mississippi State, I certainly don't think it's the more likely outcome.

My prediction is for no upsets tonight. Then again, I had the Patriots by a touchdown.

Nice! Eric Frede seems to be an up and coming guy at ESPN. I noticed that last year when ESPN assigned him play-by-play for the first and second round NCAA tournament games in Storrs, which had been called the year prior by the then-flagship team of O'Brien and Burke.

I like Eric F too. We commented last week about South Carolina's chances of winning the next 3 games (at that time) Missouri, UConn and Miss St were slim at best. They beat Missouri 64-54 (which was the consensus). We figured they would lose to UConn and tonight to MS. No upsets today.

 

[trisailin]

Why would I be upset with you conducting a poll?

 

[RockyMTblue2]

What a kill joy! I wanted to pick all 4. I like chaos!

 

[DefenseBB]

My vote for SC might be more heart than head, but I do think A’ja and Ty offset Teira and Vivians. Does the rest of SC step up to match William and Co? I hope so...

 

[LoTrader]

I enjoy these polls, and everyone's commentary on the polls. Thanks DefenseBB

Are there really any BYers who think UCONN wont win the NC?

 

[Tonyc]

I dont think SC plays good enough defense to beat Miss St. I will be watching and it should be a great game.

 

[EricLA]

I like Eric

Thank you! I'll just take the part of your post that actually applies to me LOL...

 

[DallasBUFan]

I think it's theirs to lose. Miss State and BU have shown to be the biggest competitors to contest. ND behind the. Louisville we will find out soon enough, my gut says no, but we will see how it plays out.

 

[nwhoopfan]

USC and Oklahoma are both w/in 2 points, halfway thru the 4th quarter. I voted for USC in the poll, but OU hanging w/ Baylor in Waco? Really didn't expect that.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Never mind. UCLA pulled away to win by 14, now there is a 3 way tie for 1st place in the Pac 12.

Baylor is up 8 in the closing seconds.

The only upset that "almost" happened was FL (10-13 ) at 15th ranked Mizzou which did not make the poll. Mizzou won 66-64 but FL had the ball for a last shot to tie (or win) and ran a terrible set.
