This week's games

I'm sending the games out early this week to help everyone taking off to wherever for Thanksgiving, but you don't have to send the games in before Thanksgiving if you don't want to. The first game starts at 11 a.m. Friday, so I'll need your picks sometime before then. It's rivalry week, and you know anything can happen in these games, especially these. I know everyone else joins me in welcoming Clemson, the best six-win team in America, back into the pool. A lot is on the line in some of these games for Week 14. Same goes for the standings. For $800 and the Ramon Escobar Trophy, the proud centerpiece of Beth Shields' Thanksgiving table and War Memorial golf course tailgate, select your winners and e-mail them back to me by 10 a.m. Friday.
