My outlook is "forced obtuse" on this? You sited a thesaurus as you pretended to not understand the difference between being "shocked" and being "surprised".
I think we just have to agree to disagree that we use the word "shock" differently.
I also am aware that you are talking about casual college football fans and my point stands. I am fully aware App St. lost last night (it was on the front of ESPN this morning), I know SMU and Baylor are undefeated. . . so yes, I think college football fans know it is a good year for MN. So no, I don't think they would be shocked if MN beat Penn State. Surprised, yes. I wouldn't use the term "shocked".
You’re especially wrong for casual fans.
But so far, you’re just declaring that you’re right a priori. So I don’t expect much further good discussion from you on this.
