1. Michigan (vs. Indiana)
Indiana is coming into this game 3-0, and has already won a road game. More importantly, Michigan is starting to feel good about itself, and with a game next week against in-state rival Michigan State, this could be the classic trap game. The offense is running well, but the defense has been suspect all season long. Indiana hasn't won in Ann Arbor in 42 years. While it probably won't happen this week either, don't be shocked if the Hoosiers pull the upset.
2. Cal (at Oregon)
Autzen stadium is never an easy place to play, and Pac-10 road games are looking more and more difficult to win (just ask USC). While Cal has a Heisman candidate at running back, Oregon of course lost their best player to "the punch." If Cal struggles in the second half like they did against Minnesota, we could be looking at a second top ten team losing this week.
3. Washington (at Stanford)
This is the classic let down game. There is no way the coaches at Washington, no matter how good they are, can convince the Huskies to be as geeked emotionally as they were last week for the Trojans. It's human nature. Meanwhile, Stanford, in their two wins have put up 39 points, and 42 points. The Washington defense will have to show up like it did last week, or the Huskies could end September with a disappointing loss.

Wow, you really nailed all three of those. I was definitely surprised by how the Michigan game was. I thought Oregon might upset Cal, but who knew they would totally destroy them??
