Dan Mullen Predicts College Football Upset on Saturday

ESPN college football analyst Dan Mullen recently dropped his Week 6 picks, revealing a few potential upsets on the horizon.

Mullen shared his thoughts on some of the biggest games of the weekend, which include Missouri at Texas A&M, Michigan at Washington, Clemson at Florida State and UCF at Florida.

He believes there will be few upsets in Week 6, which include No. 10 Michigan taking down the Huskies and No. 9 Missouri defeating No. 25 Texas A&M. While those don't appear to be surprise picks on paper, both Missouri and Michigan are betting line underdogs.

The Tigers are listed as +2.5-point underdogs and the Wolverines are +1.5-point underdogs.

Mullen's only true upset of the Week 6 slate is the Florida Gators taking down the UCF Knights as +2.5-point underdogs.

The Gators are currently 2-2 on the year, suffering early season losses to the Miami Hurricanes and Texas A&M Aggies.

Florida has been playing with a two-quarterback system since true freshman DJ Lagway made his first career start in a 45-7 win over Samford in Week 2. Head coach Billy Napier has chosen to split offensive drives between Lagway and veteran quarterback Graham Mertz.

Since the start of the 2024 season, Lagway has produced four touchdowns and 617 yards with a 66.7 completion percentage. Mertz has recorded four touchdowns and 487 yards with a 75.0 completion percentage.

The two will likely split drives throughout the in-state matchup against the Knights. UCF has struggled on the defensive end, giving up 45 points to Colorado in Week 5, so Florida has a chance to exploit their weakness.

The Knights started the season 3-0, defeating New Hampshire, Sam Houston and TCU. They went into their Week 5 matchup against the Buffaloes as double-digit favorites but were taken down in stunning fashion, losing 48-21 at home.

UCF is led by Arkansas transfer quarterback KJ Jefferson, who's posted seven touchdowns and 847 yards with a 60.5 completion percentage.

They've also gotten great production from running back RJ Harvey. The Orlando native has recorded eight touchdowns and 525 yards, averaging 7.0 yards per carry.
