OK, no Thursday night game to select his week (since I don't want a repeat of the Thursday debacles of before). This time you have two days (!) to make your selections. I'll cut them off at 10 am on Saturday morning.
This week's games:
1) Penn State v. Iowa
2) California v. Oregon
3) Miami (FL) v. Virginia Tech
4) Texas Tech v. Houston
5) Arkansas v. Alabama
Tie-breaker (winner and score): Georgia v. Arizona State

But don't worry; the week Georgia has a bye, I will pick a different game.  Maybe I'll be nice to Benjamin and let the Pitt game be the tie-breaker.

No one's picking ASU. I might have to change my tie-breaker. Is that allowed?

That goes for everyone. If you change your mind on a pick, as long as you change it before the deadline (Sat at 10 am in this case), that's fine. Just make sure you do it in the OP, not as a later addition.

Now be honest -- how many of you would have picked SC to beat Ole Miss?

Me. Just because I thought Ole Miss was extremely overrated and I like to see the SEC hurt itself.

Don't look now, though; Ole Miss just scored and are only down by 6 with plenty of time in the 4th.
Personally, I like to see Spurrier hurt himself (losing-wise). |

OK, something's wrong with the air around Columbia. The announcers, after saying that SC was only one play away from beating Georgia and now had beaten Ole Miss, asked good the team was. "Oh, top 15" was the answer. Then one of the announcers reminded them they had only beaten NC state 7-3. "But they won."
So, my prediction. With the dumb polls the way they are, we'll have a repeat of Washington this week. It wouldn't surprise me to see SC ranked ahead of Georgia after this week (assuming Georgia beats ASU). Apparently you only need to upset an overrated and unproven top 10 team in order to make it into the Top 25.

The only "proven" teams they have to play are Alabama and LSU. But LSU has not been tested and may also be overrated. So, it should be fairly easy for Ole Miss to emerge with a 9-3 record and still be overrated.

They may lose one of those last 3 games, but not all three. They have a pretty solid defense. But Snead looked pretty bad yesterday. All three of those latter teams are in rebuild mode and should not be too much trouble. But anything can happen in college football. I believe they go to Vandy this week, and they could be in for a letdown after the loss and struggle there.
I'm not convinced that LSU is all that good. Did the voters forget how bad they looked last season? I guess we'll find out next week when they play my Dawgs...

The only game that matters this week: ARKANSAS!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PIG! SOOIE!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PIG! SOOIE!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PIG! SOOIE!!
RAZORBACKS!!
I'm sure some of you have no idea how annoying it is to live among Bammers.  I would dearly love to see them shut up this weekend. Especially since the Hogs are underdogs: it would be even sweeter.
Hit that line! Hit that line! Keep on going,
Move that ball right down the field!
Give a cheer. Rah! Rah! Never fear. Rah! Rah!
Arkansas will never yield!
On your toes, Razorbacks, to the finish,
Carry on with all your might!
For it's A-R-K-A-N-S-A-S for Arkansas!
Fight! Fight! Fi-i-i-ght!

I would love it if Arkansas beat 'Bama. That would mean that Georgia beat not one but two teams that in turn beat top 5 teams. That should help the ol' "strength of schedule" arguments and make those wins look more respectable.
