College football Week 7 upset watch: Missouri, UMass, Kansas push favorites

College football’s Week 7 upset potential takes center stage with three underdogs poised to challenge powerhouse opponents. Kansas, seeking to end a 17-game losing streak against Kansas State, enters the Sunflower Showdown with momentum after the Wildcats’ first-year coach, Collin Klein, has overseen two straight Big 12 losses.

The line has softened from 8.5 to 4.5 points in Kansas’ favor, and the Jayhawks’ stout defense—ranked 20th nationally in adjusted EPA per play—could be the key if they limit Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson to under 20 points. Meanwhile, UMass looks to rebound from a pair of home losses by leaning on transfer quarterback Logan Inagawa, who stepped in last week after injuries sidelined starters William Watson III and Aedan McCarthy.

The Minutemen, fresh off snapping a 16-game losing streak, will face Buffalo in a matchup where depth at quarterback could decide the outcome. Missouri also enters the fray as an underdog, though details on their specific challenge remain limited in the latest reports.
