Ok, here they are:

Top 10 Things Saw/Read/Heard From Week 2

1. Vanderbilt is 2 – 0 and 1 – 0 in the SEC. Yes, Vanderbilt. Bobby Johnson is a very underrated coach if the Dores keep up this success.
2. Ohio State struggled mightily w/out Beanie Wells. Or were they just looking forward to the match-up with the Trojans this weekend? Buckeye fans can only hope that was the issue.
3. The Pirates continue to over-whelm opponents. East Carolina vaulted up to #14 in the polls after back-to-back wins over Top 25 teams. They simply man-handled West Virginia.
4. After spotting Marshall 14 points, Wisconsin rolled off 51 unanswered to destroy the Thundering Herd at Camp Randall.
5. Alabama looked very lethargic in a win at home against Tulane. Hang-over from the Clemson game probably.
6. Absolutely the worst call in the 2008 season was made in Spokane over the weekend when an Unsportsmanlike Conduct penatly against the Huskie QB Jake Locker after the apparent game-tieing TD. The PAT was blocked and BYU escaped with some help from the refs.
7. A last second FG keeps the Used Car Salesman from starting the season 2 – 0 at Ole Piss.
8. Arkansas improved on the run defense against La-Monroe. However, they left the pass defense at home in Fayetteville. Another 4th Quarter comeback by Casey Dick saves the day.
9. OU disposed of supposedly the toughest defense it would play all year in Norman. They did it to the tune of 52 – 26 rolling up 592 yards of total offense.
10. Arkansas State is now 2 – 0 on the season after beating Texas A&M and Texas Southern. They get a team from Mississippi this week in Southern Miss. Something tells me they won't score 83, yes they scored 83 against Texas Southern, this weekend.

Brick of the Week
Did I mention how easily it is to go from POTW to BOTW with one simply swing in emotion? Or one simple very, very, very bad call in a game? Well, that is what this person found out this week. They were the only one in 18 people who picked this week to pick Washington to beat BYU. And as I have already stated, it took the worst call in College Football this year to not send that game to overtime where no telling what might have happened. Had the Huskies made it to OT, they might have won and this contestant would be on the POTW and not the BOTW. But seeing as how, that is the way College Football goes sometimes, Mrs. Tammy "I hate PAC-10 officials" Tucker is the BOTW with her pick of Washington to beat BYU. I am sure those officials will be receiving a Christmas Card from Mrs. Tucker!

Pick of the Week
You guys are really making it easy to hand out these awards each week. Sometimes it is a little bit more difficult, but this week and last week, it was pretty easy. This week, the East Carolina Pirates once again pulled off a win over a ranked opponent. That leads us to our current Co-POTW winners. Two individuals correctly picked the Pirates to up-end the Mountaineers. A rare feat was also accomplished this week as one individual received the BOTW and also received the POTW. Not very often will you see that folks. The Co-POTW winners this week are Mrs. Tammy "PAC-10 Officials Fan Club President" Tucker and Mr. Jerry "I cheated by looking at my wife's picks" Tucker. Congratulations guys!

Champion of the Week
So, this week's scores were more reminiscent of the first couple of weeks of the Pick-Em contest. Everyone rebounded nicely from the first week debacle and posted some very nice scores. The average number of correct picks for the group this week was a hearty 7.89. Very impressive. As a matter of fact there were 8 individuals who correctly picked 9 games out of the 10. Amazing. So, the tie-breaker came into play for the first time this year. Therefore, the Champion of Week 2 was none other than Mr. Carroll "Thank God for Ike" Walls with his tie-break score of 6. Congratulations bud!
