Every week CUTigers will publish picks from the CUTigers staff, with all selections coming against the spread. (Anybody can pick straight up winners, we have to make things difficult).

Which esteemed CUTigers colleague will capture the "Turkey of the Week" award in week seven?

This week's games are as follows:

Wake Forest at Clemson (-7)
South Carolina at Alabama (-17)
Oklahoma vs. Texas (-3)
Virginia Tech at Georgia Tech (+3)
USC at Notre Dame (+10)

Each winner is picked against the spread, with one game from each contestant being tabbed "Lock of the Week."

For each regular game that is picked correctly, one point is awarded. For each "Lock of the Week" that is picked correctly, two points are awarded.

Keep in mind that this is for entertainment purposes only and all picks are made against the spread.

Last but not least, whoever comes in last place each week will be given the "Turkey of the Week" award. Esteemed columist Dan Scott went 0-5 a week ago, capturing the award for the second time.
