-Do you know what last week's biggest shocker was?  Stanford upsetting USC?  Nope.  Arkansas looking like a high school team against Alabama and now only being favored by 7 points against Rutgers this week?  No.  Pittsburgh beating Virginia Tech's ass?  Wrong again.  The biggest upset of the week was that ESPN's College GameDay broke their three-week streak and did not pick another SEC game to go to this weekend.  Yup, the SEC's biggest ass-kissers actually did the right thing and GameDay is going to Tallahassee for the Clemson/Florida State game this week instead of picking a crappy SEC match-up like they have the past two weeks.  I would say I'm proud of them, but then again, they seem to be sweeping Kentucky's loss to Western Kentucky under the rug as if it didn't happen and the SEC is still the greatest thing since man invited fire.

-And speaking of Florida State, can someone please explain to their band leader the rules of football.  If you have ever attended a Florida State game in person, then you know that their band plays that War Chant constantly (it's that song where all the Seminole fans do that chop and all the opposing fans do the same thing but with their middle fingers).  They play it after touchdowns, first downs, and big plays.  However, they also seem to play it when an opponent gets first downs, when their own team loses yards, and even after turnovers.  It seems to me that the band leader has no idea what is going on in the game and instead has an egg timer that reminds him (or her) that they haven't played that annoying song in 30 seconds.  For the sake of mankind, make it stop.

-I finally had a winning week and it would have been better had I not thrown in that bonus pick.  I still can't believe how bad Virginia Tech played against a really bad Pittsburgh team, I guess when you turn the ball over four out of your first six possessions, it just isn't your day.  It doesn't matter, because I like I said, I still had a winning week and nothing can stop the Weekly Picks of the Week now, we are on a role!

"This picture was taking as the Miami Hurricanes were running out of the locker room before the game.  How does that school continue to recruit elite players when their fans could care less about them?"
