Championship Week - 12/2/10

So The Watercooler comes bearing bad news this week. Perhaps last week's comeback for the ages in the Iron Bowl was too much for us, but due to personal illness and final week of school madness, we were unable to produce a show this week. However, both Brett and Andy firmly believe Auburn will take care of business this weekend in the SEC Championship game. Of course, we have one week remaining in the Pick 10, and it's still a close race (at least it is for 2nd place...)

Week 14 Pick 10:
N. Illinois - Miami OH (MAC Championship Game in Detroit, MI) (**FRIDAY NIGHT GAME**)
Illinois @ Fresno State (**FRIDAY NIGHT GAME**)
SMU - Central Florida (C-USA Championship Game in Orlando, FL)
Florida State - Virginia Tech (ACC Championship Game in Charlotte, NC)
Oklahoma - Nebraska (Big 12 Championship Game in Arlington, TX)
UConn @ USF
Pittsburgh @ Cincinnati
USC @ UCLA
Oregon @ Oregon State
Washington @ Washington State

Pick 10 Leaderboard - With 1 Week Remaining:
Brett 80-50 (.615) Last Week: 8-2
David 77-53 (.592) Last Week: 6-4
Andy 76-54 (.585) Last Week: 5-5

Week 13 - 11/23/10

Brett is on vacation in beautiful, sunny Florida this week, so longtime friend of the show David Tutwiler joins in as a guest host. After a needed bye-week, Auburn and Alabama are set to square off in Friday in perhaps the biggest Iron Bowl in a decade. We break that game down for you, offer up our predictions, and preview the rest of the SEC rivalry action. Also included is a review of each SEC teams' season, SEC bowl projections, and the Pick 10.

Week 11 - 11/10/10

This week's edition of The Watercooler contains our take on the Cam Newton allegations, but let's not forget there is actual football to be played this week. We have a preview of the Georgia game, as well as this week's SEC action and Pick 10 games.

NOTE: The most recent allegations involving phone calls by Cam and his father had not yet surfaced when we recorded the show. However, we stand by our stance. As long as Cam remains eligible to play and no REAL evidence is produced, Cam will continue to receive our full support, and these allegations are nothing more than a character assault.

Week 11 Pick 10:
Ole Miss @ Tennessee
South Carolina @ Florida
Mississippi State @ Alabama
Texas Tech @ Oklahoma
Kansas State @ Missouri
Southern Cal @ Arizona
Nevada @ Fresno State
Virginia Tech @ North Carolina
Michigan @ Purdue
Southern Miss @ Central Florida (UCF)

Pick 10 Leaderboard
Brett 59-41 (.590) Last Week: 7-3
David 58-42 (.580) Last Week: 6-4
