Week 6..Is it? I can't keep up!

In the words of Culture Club, "I know you miss me, I know you miss me blind." Ack! I loathe that song, but I'm losing my clever. Anyway, I want to start by saying that I met a gentleman yesterday who has lost over 500 pounds. It was an amazing and impressive story. However, for some reason whenever I hear stories like that, I cannot stop thinking about food. As a matter of fact, I was famished listening to the story and could not take my mind off the fine offerings at the DQ. So to celebrate this amazing story, I shared a chocolate tartlet with a friend.

I'm not sure what week we are in so let's skip the specifics and get to the picks. Thanks http://cfn.scout.com Without you, I'm just me.

Cal at Oregon-The Bears visit the Ducks and their hideous outfits. I haven't heard much about Cal this year, but I know Adam "Mr. Jones" Duritz is frequently on the sidelines. He is most famous for having dating Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston.  I guess they were still "Friends" after that. I don't think the Bears will ruffle any feathers so I like the Quack Attack 35-24

Oklahoma vs Texas-The Red River rivalry could be a thing of the past with that move to the glitzy PAC 10 , but I love any game where there is a ferris wheel outside the stadium. Is this Oklahoma's year to win it all? I mean they have a QB who absolutely must have been named after Tom Landry while Texas has a QB named Case  (Colt's baby brother). Is there another McCoy brother waiting in the wings named Real?  Maybe they only recruit guys names Cody, Wyatt and Shooter? I think Texas is in transition, so I like the Sooners 28-20.

UGA at The Big Orange- 2 schools intertwined in a variety of ways. Derek Dooley is the coach of UT while his dad is the legendary Vince-no last name necessary. Both schools have had mascot woes as Smokey had to be replaced due to biting someone while UGA has not officially replaced Bruce (I think that was his name).  UGA has won 3 in a row with 2 sound defeats of the state of Mississippi, while TN has beaten..I have no clue. Arron Murray occasionally reminds me of Joe Cox which is not a good thing. Note to UGA, "What do we want? TD What's that? Touchdown." Skip the Blair Walsh show and let's not have "Rocky Top" ringing in our ears. Halloween may be near but  red is more flattering than orange.  Go Dawgs 21-17

Maryland at GT-After beating da U, Maryland has looked horrible, literally in those crazy, blindingly ugly uniforms, while GT is quietly winning. Looks like that Clemson/GT showdown in a couple of weeks could have ACC title implications (Yes, that was my Clemson love because I have to acknowledge them now). This game will be played in front of those 25 loyal GT fans and a student body adjusting their pocket protectors. I kid!! I think GT protects their house while the Terps suit up for  another "What Not to Wear" episode. Bees 38 Terps-30

Florida at LSU-Wow! Florida was served up like Gator bites courtesy of the Tide last week. Now they roll into Death Valley, with the spirit of Jamarcus Russell looming. The purple drank will be flowing and this may get out of hand. No contest. Miles and Company 31-14.

Finally, Auburn at Arkansas. You have to hand it to Auburn, they find a way to win while the Bobby Petrinos  rallied to beat future SEC bottom dweller, Texas A&M. Luck has to run out at some point, right? It may happen in front of a crowd chanting "Woo Pig Sooey!" I think they served that in the cafeteria in elementary school. Yes, the day after the bologna cup.  Hogs 38-35.

Finally, Brett Favre is like Elvis isn't he? There is always a sighting...
