This week's games

You may be laughing at Connecticut-Virginia, or crying at the prospect of having to pick one of these teams, but UConn is a surprising 5-0 and is challenging for the Big East title, while Virginia is 5-1 after squeaking out a victory against Middle Tennessee last week. With Missouri traveling to Oklahoma, it will be interesting to see if the Tigers' spread offense can work the same way against the Sooners as it did putting the hurt on Nebraska (sorry, Ryan Harris). And then there is Auburn-Arkansas, which will determine how much trash talking the Davis family will have to endure, or give, for the next 12 months. Scott Pacheco says if he goes 5-0 this week, it will represent a flipping off of the rest of the participants in the pool as he makes his way to pick up the Ramon Escobar Trophy.
