This week's games

This could be a bonus-point bonanza week with four of the five games offering extra points to underdog winners. If all four bonus teams won, a 5-0 would be worth a 14-point swing to the lucky contestant. So can visitors 6-3 South Carolina and 7-1 LSU, or home teams 5-3 Stanford and the 5-3 Blackshirts (I love Brent Musberger but please don't let him call this game because he goes way overboard on the Blackshirts) pull out some bonus points for you? It's double-or-nothing smoothie time, Larry Brannan. I will take a Blue Lagoon and Rockin' Raspberry.

For $800 and the Ramon Escobar Trophy, which Margot Vogel plans to put on display next to the football that Pulaski Academy superstar Sam Vogel is going to intercept and run back for a touchdown in the showdown against Little Rock Christian happening Friday night on ESPNU, select your winners and e-mail them back to me by 5 p.m. Friday.
