I have made the Poolsville gods angry! What must I do to quell their wrath? -- SHM III
Like a cowboy and Bandit from Smokey and the Bandit, Les takes his hat off for one thing and one thing only. -- DJ U-Explicit Johnson

Faldon's Other Five Thoughts:
Auburn - You know the old saying "Where there's smoke, there's fire" right? My question about Cam Newton-gate* is who started the fire and why did it take so long for the smoke to appear? This whole thing smells bad - like burned popcorn bad. MSU and Florida better have their houses in order, because they've just fired the first shots in a war of SEC schools ratting each other out. And if you think (insert favorite SEC team) isn't paying players via boosters, then you're in denial.
Virginia Tech - Not a single couch in Blackburg will be safe from a-burnin' Saturday night.
Texas A&M - College bands should take their cues from either A&M or FAU. Either march with military precision or bring the funk. I dream of a halftime of the "Aggie War Hymn" being followed by "The Bed Intruder Song."
Florida - And despiteth thine abscence of St. Tebow of Gainesville, thy Gators will doth claim their rightful place in thine SEC Championship Gameth.
Arizona - Bob Baffert > Bob Barr
* - If the Watergate break-in had happened elsewhere, say if the DNC headquarters was at the Hays-Adam Hotel, what would we do for a suffix to denote a scandal?

Dang. I hate that Georgia has been in the pool a lot this year because I CAN'T PICK AGAINST THEM!!! So here we go again ... -- Hilary D.

Jeff G's Weekly Analysis:
Auburn - If Newton was playing for Ole Miss, I would say there’s trouble coming. Not sure any of the allegations hold water for me though. Anyway, even with Newton out Auburn’s a lot better that UGa. Plus, as stated before, UGa has left me hanging too many times.
UNC – I have a feeling UNC has shaken off their earlier “issues” and I don’t trust VTech on the road.
A&M – another Big 12 contest I both know and care nothing about.
Florida – USC stunk up the place last week. I don’t see them going to The Swamp and doing much better, even with a healthier team. Really depends on which Garcia shows up.
Arizona – see comment reg. A&M/Baylor above and substitute Pac 10 for Big 12.

Picks from the Seminole Prognosticator:
Auburn -- Why is it, whenever recruiting violations, wrong doing or just plain old hanky-panky is involved in something, Florida seems to be mentioned??? .... I'm just sayin'....
North Carolina -- Hey, anything to make another heart-breaking Seminole loss a tad bit more bearable.
Texas A&M -- Does anybody really care about this one?
South Carolina -- I have soiled myself enough, no more picking the slim lizards.
Arizona -- Unless of course Mitch Mustain's mom comes out of the stands and suits up.

Regards from the Big O:
As we prepare to leave Friday morning to travel to support Cam, et al, as well as to attend the rivalry that brought football to the South in 1892, I'm making sure I don't forget to send my selections this week, especially since I still lead from the front of the Davis clan. Congratulations for the Hogs beating the Cocks at home last week... I didn't think they would, but they proved me wrong. Looking back, I'm actually glad to be wrong on that game because it increases the odds my Auburn Tigers will tie up at the Chicken Bowl in Atlanta in 3 weeks with the Gators. Sheer ANGER drives me and the Auburn Family over Urbans' likely duplicitness in what I call Cam's FERPA raping by a UF football team film gofer. Cam and Company bolstered by the entire Auburn Nation will destoy the pups sinnue by sinnue next Saturday... then bring on the Red Elephant's Cub (hopefully with Nicky as the HC since we're burning all the bridges between Dallas and Tuskalooser). Granted little proof has turned up to date that suggest the 'Phants are connected wit ESPN, Fox Sports and the NYT, but some elephant turd droppings have be found around Starkville and Gainsville near scheduled meetings at those questionable locations. This week's projections: 1) AUBURN by 4 TDS, drawing Cam realy close to the 20 Rushing TDS; 20 Passing TDS record. (Note: by the time the Iron Bowl is here Cam will have his Superman Cape and scorched earth will be our new policy. Then, finish up with a little seasoned gator meat before setting our eyes West. 2) Virginia Tech (Butch Davis will bail...soon); 3) Texas A&M (because the Baptist haven't recovered from their hangover last Saturday evening); 4) Florida (because 25,000 AU fans demand it to celebrate our slightly modified return to Amen Corner for old times sake -- really -- and for retribution! 5) Arizona (because USC is the true cheater -- along with the Tahd -- and their punishment is to be defeated soon and often. Hear they are, only surprised bammer game with MSU wasn't offered as that would be a real tough decision as to whom I actually HATE the most, at least this week.

The only ones to pick GA will be those hoping the allegations are true and Cam gets benched on Friday. Texas and Mack Brown were the target of Thayer Evans a few years ago. Anything come of that or did a reporter simply write a bunch of rumors about a top team in the country? -- Woody from Auburn
