The pictures look like comic book covers and make the mascots of the various look much cooler than their real life counterparts. The six games featured on the "covers" are: LSU vs Wisconsin, FSU vs Ole Miss, USC vs Alabama, Clemson vs Auburn, Notre Dame vs Texas and Oklahoma vs Houston.

Can we get some of these every week? That would make for some great memorabilia from each game too. Who said huge company buyouts were bad? We've got Disney making Marvel and Star Wars movies and that seems to be going just fine.
