This week's games

Not to put any added pressure on this game, but just the way the season has gone, I have a theory that you have to correctly pick the ACC championship game to win this pool. If it all comes down to one game at the end, this may be remembered as at least one of them that was the determining factor. And, appropriately for the ACC's final game of the season, the line is "pick 'em."

Here's Week 15, conference championship week and your final set of five games before entering the postseason. For $800 and the Ramon Escobar Trophy, which can think of no better place to watch the SEC championship game between Florida and Alabama than the Florabama Lounge and Package Store, select your winners and e-mail them back to me by 5 p.m. Friday, and check out the bonus points available this week. Note that the championship games are played at neutral sites.
