Live Fan Feedback: Week 11 Friday

Comments on the week from our expert panel of reporters, bankers, doctors, lawyers, ad wizards, lawn guys, bond guys, car guys, pilots, priests, principals, builders, teachers, bums, and nomads.

Continually updated throughout the day...

Sue Everybody with Glenn B:

There's nothing like being mired in the median of the bell-curve in the bottom quintile to make you get your picks in promptly. So here's my best shot at $800, and glory:

Oldest Rivalry in the Deep South: I don't see Auburn benching Cam Newton until the SEC's version of the National Guard rolls into Opelika and starts smashing the joint up. They have gone too far to stop now. Newton plays a stand-out game, as if it might be his last college-level performance. Auburn over Georgia. Keep your bonus point.

Virginia Tech, with the loss to James Madison solidly in its rear-view mirror, rolls over North Carolina.

Battle of the Brazos: Texas A&M ascendant - this is not like playing the Longhorns in Austin! A&M over Baylor

SEC East Championship: Coming off what must have felt like a bye week (did Carolina's all of starters even dress out for the Razorback game?), the Old Ball Coach shakes off his stupor and, finally concerned about being in a three-way tie with Mark Richt and Houston Nutt for the title of SEC most overrated coach, pulls of the upset in Gainsville. Give me the bonus point.

For all of USC's sins during the last decade, a mere one or two seasons of modest performance is not enough punishment. Here's to hoping that the Lane Kiffin hire is like Napoleon's return from exile on Elba - he gets the gang back together for one more glorious campaign which spectacularly ends at Waterloo and condemns France to second-tier empire status thereafter. USC over Arizona.

Auburn's official comment on Cam Newton's status has now been changed to "no comment." If they rule him ineligible for tomorrow's game you gonna count that one in the pool? -- DJ U-Explicit Johnson

Auburn - hoping I won’t have to vacate these points next year. -- Chad C.

Hey yo Chico! Survey says, “I’m going 5 – 0 this week.” -- Joe C.

If Texas wins I'll crap a kitten.
But without a doubt I'll sure be smitten.
A five and O would be just grand.
And save my wife from the back of my hand.
-- Danny K.
