• Jason Campbell, Redskins - Campbell left the Redskins Week 9 game twice with injuries. His ankle injury caused him to only practice on Wednesday in a limited capacity. 

• Matt Hasselbeck, Seahawks - Hasslebeck was limited in practice on Wednesday with a host of injuries. The quarterback is just banged up due to poor pass protection. He'll play on Sunday.

• Matthew Stafford, Lions - Stafford was limited in practice on Wednesday and says he is still learning to trust his knee which hasn't completely healed yet. He's expected to play on Sunday.

• Brett Favre, Vikings - Favre was limited in practice on Wednesday with a hip injury. People his age are having hips replaced not playing in the NFL. He's tough and you should expect him to play on Sunday.

• Aaron Rodgers, Packers - Rodgers was limited in practice on Wednesday with foot issues. He's going to play on Sunday.

• DeAngelo Williams, Panthers - Williams is listed as day-to-day with a knee injury. The running back rarely sits out at practice, so keep a close eye on this.

• Clinton Portis, Redskins - Portis is still suffering from a concussion and likely will miss action in Week 10.

• LaDainian Tomlinson, Chargers - Tomlinson missed practice on Wednesday due to a bruised hip. His absence seemed more precautionary than anything. Coaches hope he'll practice today -- as do fantasy owners.

• Ladell Betts, Redskins - Betts was unable to practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. Watch him throughout the rest of the week as he needs to be healthy enough to play as Clinton Portis likely will not.

• LenDale White, Titans - White was help out of practice on Wednesday with an illness. He should be good to go on Sunday, but likely won't help your fantasy team as he's seeing fewer carries of late.

• Brian Westbrook, Eagles - Westbrook was help out of practice on Wednesday, likely due to the Eagles practicing inside on turf. Head coach Andy Reid said he'll practice on Thursday.

• Ahmad Bradshaw, Giants - Bradshaw was unable to practice on Wednesday with his foot injury but did do rehab work in the practice area. His status for Week 11 is unknown.

• Brandon Marshall, Broncos - Marshall sat out of practice on Wednesday with a back injury. It is unknown whether or not he'll be able to play on Sunday.

• Michael Clayton, Buccaneers - I've seen injury reports listing Clayton's wrist as an issue and his knee. Be careful with him this week as he missed practice already on Wednesday.

• Lance Moore, Saints - Moore missed practice on Wednesday, which is becoming a habit. His ankle injury raises doubts about his playing time on Sunday.

• Chris Chambers, Chiefs - Chambers was limited in practice after tweaking his foot in last Sunday's game. Watch his progress this week to make sure he can handle football duties on Sunday.

• Roddy White, Falcons - White was limited in practice on Wednesday with a knee injury. He'll likely play on Sunday but is facing a tough matchup like his Week 9 game against the Redskins.

• Steve Breaston, Cardinals - Breaston was limited in practice on Wednesday due to his knee, but will play on Sunday.

• Justin Gage, Titans - Gage missed practice on Wednesday due to a back injury and hasn't been medically cleared as of yet to play in Week 10. If he's unable to go, expect Kenny Britt to see extra action.

• Bernard Berrian, Vikings - Berrian as limited in practice on Wednesday as he's still trying to fully recover from his hamstring injury. He's rested from the Vikings bye week and will play on Sunday.

• Isaac Bruce, 49ers - Mike Singletary has confirmed that Bruce will likely not play on Thursday night. This is good news for Jason Hill, who caught two touchdown passes from Alex Smith in Week 9.

• Antonio Bryant, Buccaneers - Bryant missed practice due to his knee which caused him to marked inactive last week. Until he's proven healthy, he shouldn't be on your fantasy radar.

• Kevin Curtis, Eagles - Curtis has been ruled out again for Week 10 with a knee injury.

• Marques Colston, Saints - Colston was held out of practice on Wednesday but does not have swine flu. He is expected back on Thursday.

• Terrell Owens, Bills - Owens missed practice on Wednesday with an undisclosed injury. If he's unable to play on Sunday, Josh Reed will see extra action.

• Hakeem Nicks, Giants - Nicks missed practice on Wednesday but rode the exercise bike and did a little rehab. His status is unknown for Week 11.

Matthew Stafford, Lions - Stafford did not practice on Thursday due to his knee injury and will likely not play on Sunday.

Rashard Mendenhall, Steelers - Flu-like symptoms forced Mendenhall to miss practice on Thursday. He says he'll be good to go on Friday, but monitor his health closely.

Willie Parker, Steelers - Parker practiced in full on Thursday and with Mendenhall out worked with the first team. The Steelers won't make a decision on who will start at running back until game-time. Ugh!

Pierre Thomas, Saints - Thomas was once again limited in practice on Thursday with a hamstring injury. He will likely play on Sunday but his workload is in question.

Correll Buckhalter, Broncos - Buckhalter says he is at about 90% right now with his ankle injury and that he will play Monday night against the Chargers.

Ahmad Bradshaw, Giants - Bradshaw missed practice on Thursday with his lingering ankle injury. He's expected to practice on Friday and play on Sunday.

Clinton Portis, Redskins - Portis was limited in practice on Thursday with a calf injury. He is still expected to play on Sunday.

Percy Harvin, Vikings - Harvin missed practice all together on Wednesday due to a shoulder injury but was back on the field for the media portion of practice on Thursday. He was however, "semi-limited" as coach Brad Childress put it. Harvin did just about everything in practice.

Antonio Bryant, Buccaneers - Bryant was limited in practice on Thursday with a knee injury but is expected to play on Sunday.

Chris Henry, Bengals - Henry says that his legs are still not 100%. Henry has been bothered by a quad injury all season.

Steve Breaston, Cardinals - Breaston was limited in practice on Thursday with a knee injury. This injury has nagged him for a while now. He was limited last week and still played.

Nate Burleson, Seahawks - Burleson was limited in practice on Thursday with a back injury. He is listed as questionable for Sunday.

Wes Welker, Patriots - For the second straight day Welker was limited in practice. His knee injury has caused him to be limited for the past two weeks and he's played both times. Expect more of the same this Sunday.

Kurt Warner, Cardinals - Warner is listed on the injury report but participated fully in practice on Wednesday.

Matt Hasselbeck, Seahawks - Hasselbeck was limited in practice on Wednesday with his rib injury. It's unsure if he'll be able to gain enough strength between now and Sunday to make his Week 5 start.

We will be taking a look at the different college football conferences here on GetSportsInfo in a series from now until the kickoff of the season. This is the first of the series and we'll start where the season ended last year when the Florida Gators were crowned National Champs.

Favorite: Florida

Florida loses Percy Harvin but they bring back virtually everybody else on that team. Superman Tim Tebow will be back at helm for his final year as a Gator and there will still be plenty of offensive weapons for him to go with a line that will keep Superman's cape clean. Couple that with the Gators returning all 11 of their defensive starters from last season, and you are looking at another probably SEC championship and possibly another BCS championship.

Sleeper: LSU

The Tigers have one of the top coaches' in Les Miles who has shown consistency throughout his tenure at LSU. A lot of people are struggling on where to pick LSU finishing. I have seen them as high as third and as low as sixth. Expect Jordan Jefferson to be the solution to the Tigers' problem at quarterback despite being inexperienced. The freshman looked extremely mature and poised in the Tigers' 38-3 stomping of Georgia Tech at the Chick-fil-A-Bowl last year. Coach Miles also put together the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation coming in this year, so don't be surprised for the youthful Tigers to pull some big upsets.

Overrated:  Georgia

A lot of people still have Georgia finishing in the top five in the SEC this season. I'm not buying it. The Bulldogs lose their whole offense in Matt Stafford and Knowshon Moreno to the NFL draft. The Bulldogs have an easier conference schedule this season, but face Arizona State and Oklahoma State in their non-conference schedule. Expect those tougher games early to break the inexperienced Bulldogs confidence if they aren't able to win. If they didn't win the SEC with Stafford and Moreno last year... They sure as heck aren't going to this year.

Final Take:

The SEC year in and year out is one of the top conferences if not thee top conference in football. Expect no less from them this year. Florida has a great shot at repeating as the National BCS Champs and there might be another contender or two in this conference.

The bowl games finally start this weekend. Fellow GetSportsInfo.com writer, Jeremy Fischer, and myself have put together our picks including how confident we are in them. In case you've never done a pick 'em game like this before, here's how it works. In addition to picking who you think will win the game, you assign a number to that pick as to how confident you think that pick is going to be right. There are 34 bowl games this year (way too many in most people's opinion, but that's beside the point), so the max number of confidence points you can give to one game is, yep, you guessed it, 34. The game you are least confident in you assign one point too, and fill in everything in between.

A lot of office pools are done like this and make it much more challenging than simply picking a winner for each game. As J-Fish states when it comes to doing a pick 'em game like this, "I have seen many strategies and I prefer the one that calls for using the higher confidence points on the bigger BCS games." He goes on to give his reasons as to why.

"Right or wrong, the larger conference teams get more coverage. The more information that is out there, the better informed pick you can make. The more informed you are, the more confident you'll be about a particular selection." Makes sense right? So picking the BCS bowl games really isn't as difficult as picking some of the more obscure games like the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl between Southern Mississippi and Troy that provide more difficulty in not only picking who will win, but deciding how confident you are in that pick.

J-Fish goes on to say, "Unless you fancy yourself as the next Jimmy the Greek, don't over analyze. The amount of games will definitely lead to paralysis-by-analysis." In my opinion, when it comes to picking some of the lower level bowl games, its almost more of a gut feeling when making that selection than anything else.

With all that said, let's get to the picks. What you'll find below is the bowl schedule starting with the first game on the docket all the way to the National Championship game on January 8th. With each pick you'll see both J-Fish's pick as well as my own with a little bit of analysis and how many confidence points (#) we have assigned to the pick we've made. Let's get to it with a look at the BCS games.

January 1st
ROSE - Penn State vs. USC
JFISH: USC (34) - Too much defense.
DICO: USC (32) - Too much USC! PSU hasn't seen anything like the Trojans this year. Ask OSU how things worked out for them. Plus this is a "home game" for the Trojans.

FEDEX ORANGE - Cincinnati vs. Virginia Tech
JFISH: Cincinnati (22) - 1st BCS bowl berth will drive the Bearcats.
DICO: Cincinnati (10) - Special teams could be the difference in this game. Mardy Gilyard for the Bearcats is one of the best in the country in the return game. A chance to finish the season in the Top 10 will push the Bearcats to a win.

January 2nd
ALLSTATE SUGAR - Utah vs. Alabama
JFISH: Alabama (32) - Utah hasn't faced a defense like this.
DICO: Alabama (33) - See JFISH's comments...the Utes will have a hard time stopping the 'Bama offense as well.

January 5th
TOSTITOS FIESTA - Ohio State vs. Texas
JFISH: Texas (33) - Too much speed on defense, and the Horns will be playing angry because of the whole BIG XII, BCS screw job.
DICO: Texas (31) - QB Colt McCoy will be too much even for a good Buckeyes' defense. Terrelle Pryor will see what team speed on defense is all about against the Longhorns.

January 8th
FEDEX BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP - Florida vs. Oklahoma
JFISH: Florida (26) - Tebow/Harvin will find a way.
DICO: Oklahoma (22) - Bradford leads the most potent offense in the country. Even with the loss of DeMarco Murray at RB, the Sooners won't miss a beat. Expect a high scoring affair.
