College football's best five games of Week 6

Aggie Mark was once a normal high school student who enjoyed such normal activities as sneaking beer into horror movies and coughing loudly to mask the sound of opening the can. But then he went to college at Texas A&M and things started to change. Now, he only wears white short-sleeved jumpsuits and whenever something good happens he does six pushups and kisses the person next to him. He answers every phone call with "Howdy" and ends every conversation with "Gig 'em" and a thumbs up. His pets are named Reveille I, Reveille II, and Reveille III. At midnight before each Aggie home game, he goes outside in his front yard and holds a one-man yell practice. And on Saturday while on a kids' camping trip instead of at the Southwest Classic, he plans to build the biggest bonfire those kids have ever seen to celebrate A&M's win over Arkansas. Could it happen? It's one of four bonus-point games with puzzling six-point lines that kind of make you wonder if somebody out there knows something.

For $800 and the Ramon Escobar Trophy, select your bonus-point winners and e-mail them back to me by 5 p.m. Friday.
