DTH Picks of the Week

The DTH Sports staff and one celebrity/personality pick the winners of the biggest college football games this weekend.

The Picks of the Week gang decided to call upon a higher power -- Deacon William Joyner -- to take part in this week's pool, while the Tar Heels travel to take on the oxymoronic Demon Deacons. Rest assured -- our deacon is definitely not a demon.

Even with divine intervention it will be difficult for anyone to catch James "Holier-Than-Thou" Giza, as he continues to walk on water with a firm hold on first place. Kellie "Cherubic" Dixon and "Saint" Kelly Lusk hold steady at the No. 2 spot.

Ian "God-Fearing" Gordon must have missed a couple of rosary beads, because even a 9-3 performance couldn't pull him out of third place. Tim "Choir Boy" Candon is comfortably napping in the middle of the pew, I mean, pack.

"Allelujah!" Aaron Fitt and Adam "Heretic" Hill better start saying their prayers before they get excommunicated. Even an inspired 11-1 record last week couldn't boost Fitt out of the depths of picks purgatory. Let's see if Joyner's vision of this Saturday's outcomes ends up as Truth.
