The Iowa State Cyclones open their 2007 season against the Kent State Golden Flashes. The Cyclones were picked as the worst team in the Big 12 by the AP, and Rivals.com picked them to finish last in the Big 12 North. That's not exactly a ringing endorsement. Of course, they're playing against a team that hasn't won a MAC conference title since 1972, so they should be able to pull out the win on Thursday. Right?

WRONG! Kent State with the major upset!

According to the Associated Press, "Julian Edelman threw for 161 yards and a touchdown to lead Kent State to a 23-14 victory over Iowa State on Thursday night in Chizik's first game as Cyclones coach... Eugene Jarvis added 113 yards rushing for Kent State (1-0), which beat a team from a BCS conference for the first time in 20 years."
