And now for the Moment of Truth Saturday. After a relatively easy first two weeks, Week 3 looks to present more of a challenge and is one of the rare times when most of the pool's largest and most vocal contingents are represented -- even Vratsinas's Iowa Hawkeyes. It's a moment of truth for all the 2-0 teams to see if they are for real, and it's a moment of truth for the one-loss teams already looking to salvage the season. Is Arkansas the lock fans have been saying they are and will they give Amy S. the chance to say "Take that, DeMillo," or will those who have the strategy of picking against Arkansas get the bigger swing in the standings from a Hog loss because of so many Razorback fans in the pool? Then there's the curious case of Auburn. Typically when I would throw out a crack about points scored against Mississippi State, I would get several protests from the Auburn people. This week, crickets. Have they lost confidence in Malzahn already?
Oh yeah, and most importantly, this week's five includes Clemson as a bonus-point team! (Insert maniacal laugh here.) Roll the dice, brother. Then select your winners and e-mail them back to me by 5 p.m. Friday. As Brother Rufus J. Hogg would say, Hogalueah!
