Continually updated throughout the day...
My football picks have been really sad.
My fantasy team is playing real bad.
So here are my picks.
There are five, not six.
It's time to go beat my wife.
(Hey, who said it has to rhyme?)
-- Danny K.
Best bet for Nebraska to not be forced to play the Big East Qualifier in the BCS Bowl game. I predict if Oregon is in the national championship game and there isn't another Pac10 team worthy of a Rose Bowl bid, there is a chance for an early preview of the new Big 10 with Nebraska playing Wisconsin. Yep, you heard it here first... -- Husker Ryan
Whatever crud you had last week you passed along to me electronically so you're getting unfunny, 12-point Sans Serif-font, Nyquil-induced picks this week. -- DJ (cough, sneeze) U-Explicit

Jeff G's Weekly Analysis:
Stanford – fake injuries probably won’t work this week.
Iowa – they crushed MSU at home and ran out of luck against NW on the road, but I think they can recover.
VTech – Never mind what I said last week about not trusting VTech on the road.
Hogs – best all-around game last week, even if it was against UTEP. Beating USC in Columbia was a big step in the right direction. I still don’t like Petrino.
Nebraska – no reason really. I wish they’d show the A&M band at halftime. But no, they want us to listen to the unintelligible Lou Holtz and his contrarian toadie Mark May. Sorry ESPN/ABC or whoever the hell you are, I switch to DVR’d episodes of Mythbusters. Fight the Power!

SHM Picks in Video:
Cal (Worthington and his dog spot)
Ohio State (your name and business)
Virginia Tech(mo Bowl)
Arkansas (a lady in half)
TexaS NM(NMNM)
The last one was a bit of a stretch.
I was going to pick Nebraska just so I could paste this:
Nebra-ska(talites)

Regards from the Big O:
1) Stanford (because all Cal did last week was show that the Ducks could be stopped and they would have won had they had any semblence of an offense)
2) Ohio State (because I just can't squander another pick on Iowa)
3) Miami (because they are playing at home)
4) Arkansas (because it's the little doggies that aren't focused and the Hogs want to prove they can play the following week with LSWho)
5) Texas A&M (because they too are playing at home and the 12th man should overcome a Nebraska team that seems to falter at times)
Well those are my picks -- read 'um and weep. Since you pelted me with AU jokes last week, how about this one: What does NFL ex-convict (its late and I can't remember his name) and Cam have in common? They both abuse dawgs! War Cam Eagle, Run Michael Run and Crush Fairley Crush!! By the way have you seen the doctored picture of Georga's QB with flag football strips hanging from his sides? "Bow wow Bull Dog Bow Wow, arf arf," as we used to yell.

Faldon's Other Five Things:
Stanford — Too often I've let my love for the hippies at Cal cloud my judgement when picking games. No longer. Those hippies can ball. But those nerds at Stanford can too, thanks to a coach will be a hot commodity this offseason.
Iowa — Like Cal, Iowa has been my downfall due to the school's uniforms. Copying the black and gold of the greatest NFL franchise of all-time (and the true America's Team, not the whine-and-cheese Cowboys) was a smart move Hawkeyes. Even if picking you isn't.
Miami — Driving around town, I'm always tickled to see the stickers boosters of a little private school put on their cars. Union Christian Academy uses a "U" and it's the same color scheme as The U's "U." I can't help but wonder if they realize they're tying their school (albeit every so slightly) to the coattails of one of the dirtiest, raunchiest college football programs in history. WWJD? Probably not hang out with 2 Live Crew and Michael Irvin on South Beach.
Arkansas — This is the first of three wins Arkansas needs to post a really historic season.
Texas A&M — Robert Earl Keen > Larry the Cable Guy
