This week's games...

This could be a bonus-point extravaganza week -- a 5-0 with all underdogs winning would be worth 15 points. Will the ACC continue its streak of producing underdog winners even in these match-ups with the Big 12? (Still waiting for the Big 12 South to play somebody.) If Virginia Tech does it to Nebraska and you took Nebraska, direct your complaint e-mails to Cornhusker fan Ryan Harris, who has assured us that the Big Red is back.

Time for the games for Week 5. For $800 and the Ramon Escobar Trophy, more prestigious than the Emmy for best reality show host, select your winners and e-mail them back to me by 5 p.m. Friday. And remember, I always respond to e-mail sent before 5 p.m. Friday to confirm that I got your picks, so if you don't get that confirmation e-mail, send your picks again or post them online.
