In the “Duel of the top SEC QBs” from this past Saturday, one of them lived up to the top billing.

Auburn QB Cameron Newton out-dueled Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett (who left the game in the second quarter with an injury) in the Tigers 65-43 win over the Razorbacks at Auburn, Alabama.  And, in doing so, Cameron Newton wins our Fantasy College Blitz Fantasy Player of the Week for Week Seven….Newton’s second FCB-FPOTY win of the season.
