-NFL Draft "Expert" Mel Kiper Jr. said this before the 2010 Draft:

“If [Clausen is] not a successful starting quarterback in the NFL, I’m done. That’s it. I’m out.”

After starting 10 games his rookie year, Jimmy Clausen hasn't started a game since.  Clausen sucked so bad his first year in the league (3 TDs, 9 INTs) that the Panthers went out and drafted Cam Newton first overall the following year.  That means he was so bad that they weren't even willing to give him a second year to develop.  On top of the fact that he sucked so bad that his team got the first pick in the draft the next year.  If I'm not mistaken, this means that Mel Kiper Jr. owes us his resignation.

-Stat of the Week:
Years in the SEC:  Missouri - 3, South Carolina - 23
Division Titles:  Missouri - 2, South Carolina - 1

SEC Least Update

-I know I said that I wouldn't make fun of the SEC East again this season, but last weekend made me break that promise.  The almighty SEC went 0-4 against the lowly ACC last weekend, and all four teams that lost were from the SEC East.  I found that too hilarious not to mention.

-Two winning weeks in a row!  I am on a roll.  And I would have gone 4-1 if I didn't chicken out and pick Minnesota like I wanted to but didn't want to be picking so many visiting teams.  Oh well.  You can expect my streak to continue this week or your money back.

-Last Week's Funniest College GameDay Sign:

"If you don't get why that's funny, it's either because 1) you don't have Chick-fil-a in your town and didn't know they are closed on Sundays, or 2) you also wait outside Chick-fil-a on Sundays."

-Alright, enjoy championship week of college football.

Last Week's Results: 3-2
Season Results: 37-40
