As I watch Va. Tech get slaughtered by Stanford, I am now more impressed by Oregon. We'll see if Auburn's Cam Newton is still as good as I think he is even though he is a cheater. The Sugar Bowl will be Ohio State trying to revive the reputation of the Big X versus the SEC's Arkansas Razorbacks. Ohio State's Tyrell Pryor was supposed to be Vince Young II, but he hasn't quite lived up to the hype. Now he will be suspended next year for the first five games for some kind of cheating. But I guess it wasn't bad enough to keep him out of the Sugar Bowl. Arkansas is the home of Bill Clinton, some of the Baker clan, and Tyson Chicken. They feature a coach, Bobby Petrino, who had a local sports reporter in Arkansas fired because she showed up to one of his press conferences wearing a Florida Gator hat. Can you believe that? Thin skinned? Maybe.
Picks? Well Ohio State supporters include leader Kathy, third placers RC and Kirsten, and second place Alec. Also-rans Will, Matt, Ana, Monique, Tim, Chris and Margaret. Arkansas supporters include third placers Pat and Marvetta (chance to move closer; note late move made by Pat) and also -rans Moriah and Joe (poor Joe, such a great start and such a complete collapse). Anyway, tomorrow's game should be fun.

big win for Patricia and Kirsten (let me guess, your uncle went to Stanford). They are back in the hunt. Long shots, but in the hunt.
One correction Will. The biggest winner was the San Francisco 49ers who just picked up the Stanford coach to take over their loser team. Best of luck to him with the challenge of a lifetime. All bets are on Harbaugh now.
Go Ducks!!! Don't you have to love a team that goes by such a whacky, underdog name? I'm surprised they didn't pick Turkeys. Its hard to really take them seriously, but Auburn had better. Perhaps this is a psychological ploy to keep the other team off guard. This is going to be a great game.
