64 games down, 32 to go. Much was decided this weekend, and much more to be decided in the coming weeks... TB Averages are more important than ever, with many key division leaders not having used theirs yet...
...the division that Justin had all but won sees him in 2nd now...
...Daniel Powell is seeking his first division title in his six season career, having passed a once solid Tim Wasyluka
...the rookie to now watch is not Angie Pilgrim but Jason Barnette
...and Jason Duren's solid lead (and attempt at a wire-to-wire divisional lead) is in danger...
...all of this and immediate results on the website now... full results sent via email tomorrow...

#4 Georgia Bulldogs (7-0) vs. #18 Florida Gators (5-2) in Jacksonville, Florida, CBS
The Worlds Largest Cocktail Party commences again, this time with some intriguing storylines... it would be easy to take the fourth ranked Bulldogs over Urban Meyer's Gators, a young team that has not quite grasped the offense that Urban is trying to lay on them. However, the Georgia QB, DJ Shockley, went down hard with a knee injury on Saturday, and afterwards, they struggled to beat Arkansas (and the Hogs should have beaten them, honestly). From all accounts, Shockley will not play on Saturday against the Gators, but even if he does, play will be limited and he won't be 100%. So take the team with the backup QB, or the team with the shaky offense that you know will one day explode for 1,000 yards in a single quarter. Pick 'em.
#25 Michigan Wolverines (5-3) at #21 Northwestern Wildcats (5-2), 6pm
Yes, yes, Ryan Sherman said it best... NW picking Mich State is like picking two donkeys fighting over a turnip... but if you saw that game, you saw one donkey beat the crap out of the other. Seriously, imagine Ryan, the Lattas and the Osbornes, all armed with wooden planks against Philip Fulmer, armed with a feather duster, in a dark alley. Thats the kind of beating the Cats laid on the Spartans--and they looked almost flawless doing it. I dont care who the Wolvies are... I'm picking the Wildcats again, and their huge offense and their bad-A QB, Basenez (prounced bazz-ih-nay). Homeboy is a hoss, and I'd pick him over Michigan's Henne any day. ( ALSO TB GAME)
Oklahoma Sooners (4-3) at Nebraska Cornhuskers (5-2), 11am ABC
Imagine my surprise when I flip on ESPNews and see the Boomer Sooners are in their 2nd overtime... "Wow," I thought... "I didnt know they played Colorado." Or maybe Ithought it was Oklahoma State, who they always have problems with. Or maybe they are playing Nebraska, though I was almost positive it wasn't this past weekend. So I listen in to find out who could be taking the Sooners to 2 overtimes. I found out. It was Baylor. Yes, Baylor. BAYLOR!!!!!! You have to know that Oklahoma is a young team, and they lost, like, everyone last year, and Adrian Peterson is a shell of what he was last season when they took Auburn's place against USC. But Baylor? I like the Huskers.
Clemson Tigers (4-3) at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (4-2), 11am, ESPN2
I'll be honest with you... there weren't many more games that sound appealing. I mean, I could have picked Auburn/Ole Miss, but you don't really think that the Runnin' Rebels will win? And there is a great game on Thursday night, but its Thursday, and I know you people better than that. Too late in the season to be missing games. And hey, its on TV. So, here you go. Pick 'em.

Washington Redskins (5-2) at the New York Football Giants (4-2), 12noon FOX
You know, even though the powers that be act like Eli is the second coming of Peyton (can I tell you how funny it would be if Eli won a Super Bowl before Peyton? We're talking Venus and Serena all over again, times 5,000), after yesterday's comeback win over the Broncos, I'm starting to think Eli is coming around. And with the Skins, who knew that Brunell was the deal? Joe Gibbs is proving that the "game is not passing him by". If only LaVar Arrington can get his thumb out of his naval, and act like a man, the Skins can be a contenda.
Chicago Bears (3-3) at Detroit Lions (3-3), 12pm FOX
A question. Is it possible that the NFC North can be won by a 6-10 team, while a 10-6 Philadelphia team or a 11-5 Dallas Cowboy team misses the playoffs? Anyone else think we should go back to 3 divisions?
Kansas City Chiefs (4-2) at San Diego Chargers (3-4), 305pm, CBS
Another question. If the Chargers go 7-9 this year (or even 6-10), would they be the best 7-11 or 6-10 ever?
Oakland Raiders (2-4) at Tennessee Titans (2-5), 12pm CBS
That's right, boys and girls... the Titans, for the first time ever, have stunk just enough to qualify for... The Crap of the Week! Steve McNair's right ankle fell off last week, and the duct tape on this throwing hand is frayed, so they are starting the legendary QB Billy Volek, who honestly sounds like he should be starting for the Pittsburgh Penguins (who also stink). And the Raiders? Randy Moss can only do so much... in fact, depending on the game, he only does so much. Crap of the Week! Be there!
TIEBREAK GAME...
Lets go for some offensive firepower after last week's 6-3 Ala/Tenn TB debacle (the game wasn't a debacle... the points were).
Northwestern vs. Michigan. Total points scored
