With kickoff approaching, here are a few trends for this week's action:

• In tonight's action, 95% like South Carolina over North Carolina, while 74% like Ole Miss on the road at Vanderbilt.
• More people like Alabama over Virginia Tech (as in all of them, 100%) than Tennessee over Austin Peay, with the Govs currently getting 2% of the vote.
• Close calls this week:  70% like Kentucky over Western Kentucky, a surprising 87% take LSU over TCU, a surprising 74% take Georgia on the road at Clemson (SEC!  SEC!), and 60% take Boise over the Fightin' Wilcoxes of Washington.
• Most confident pick of the week:  a tie between the Vols and USC at Hawaii, both drawing an average of 18.0 confidence points.  Least confident pick of the week:  the aforementioned Georgia/Clemson battle, with the Dawgs getting just 4.5 on average despite 74% taking them to win, and Clemson just 5.0 from those who like the home team.
