Don't see Florida beating Miami.  All of the others could happen and I wouldn't consider them upsets.

They technically may be upsets, mild upsets, but I agree about Miami and UF, that would be major, and unlikely.

We’re 3 weeks through the college football season and a trio of Big Ten quarterbacks have stood out the most according to FOX Sports analyst Urban Meyer.

The legendary college football coach dropped his best Big Ten quarterbacks list, with Oregon’s Dante Moore at the top, followed by Michigan’s Bryce Underwood and Washington’s Demond Williams Jr.

The 6-foot-3 Moore has thrown for 657 yards, 7 touchdowns and 1 interception with the 10th-best QBR in the nation for No. 6 Oregon. The sophomore out of Detroit is drawing some comparisons to Houston Texans Pro Bowl quarterback C.J. Stroud.

The 6-foot-4 Underwood is another phenom from Detroit. The freshman has passed for 628 yards with 2 touchdowns and an interception for No. 21 Michigan.

The 5-foot-11 Williams Jr. has thrown for 480 yards with 2 touchdowns, no interceptions, and the 19th-best QBR in the country for 2-0 Washington.

Moore and Oregon have a rivalry game vs. visiting Oregon on the slate for this Saturday (3 p.m. ET/Big Ten Network).

Underwood and Michigan head to Nebraska in Week 4 for an afternoon tilt (3:30 p.m. ET/CBS).

Williams Jr. and Washington travel to take on in-state rival Washington State on Saturday in primetime (4:30 p.m. PT/CBS).

This image highlights six of the coolest college towns in America. Ann Arbor, Michigan, blends academics with artsy charm. Madison, Wisconsin, has lakeside beauty and lively culture. Boulder, Colorado, offers mountain views and outdoor adventure. Chapel Hill, North Carolina, radiates Southern charm, Athens, Georgia, thrives on music, and Ithaca, New York, features scenic gorges.

I don't know how to evaluate "coolness" in a town, but I wouldn't rank Chapel Hill as being particularly notable in much of anything.

I've been to four, didn't consider Sedona the town to be very beautiful, the area around it is nice.  I'd probably throw in Highlands, NC as a nice looking town.  Kona in Hawaii is scenic, and different.

my daughter just returned from Bar Harbor, her 2nd trip in 2 years.  She seems to love it.

I think Carmel-by-the-sea and Telluride are "cool"

Love Bar Harbor,  specifically biking the carriage roads of Acadia NP. . Good call on Sedona.  Area around is the attraction.   The town is a crowded mess of tchotchke shops and palm reader psychics. 

Athens is definitely my favorite of those six college towns.

There is a small town in Georgia that is, well, not "cool" in my view, but ... artifically artificial, called Helen.  It was a dying former lumber town ca. 1965 that turned itself into a Bavarian quasi-looking town with gift shops, and it worked.  It's now quite popular, apt to be crowded with touristers, a kind of small Gatlinburg.  It's scenic enough, just ... a bit odd, to me.  My wife likes it on occasion, there are some decent shops dotted about amidst the usual carnage.

I love the Texas Hill Country and find it beautiful in its way, and I also love visiting Fredericksburg, but I wouldn't call the town itself beautiful.  There's some great hill country around it but the town sort of sits in a valley and there's not much to see.

Within 10 or 15 minutes outside of town, though, you can find views like this:

I've been to four of the six. Curiously, not Ann Arbor, but I have no doubt that it is a great college town. Boulder's natural beauty is remarkable. The town itself feels a little yuppie for a college town, but I wasn't there on a Friday or Saturday night for a game. I've only visited Athens for business--again, I haven't really experienced the college-town feel. The university is lovely--I've walked through it several times. Ithaca...it has beautiful gorges and views of the lake. But Cornell and Ithaca College don't have the kind of campus spirit that you find at basically any Big Ten (and probably SEC) school.
Though I am loathe to admit it, while Minneapolis isn't really a "college town," it has a ton of great stuff in it and Dinkytown, the college area around UMN, is pretty cool. Minnesota doesn't quite have the natural beauty, but the Mississippi running through the middle of campus is pretty cool, and the architecture is significantly better than UW's, for instance.
