I would like to organize a friendly little football contest as I know there is at least a modest amount of interest regarding this topic. All you have to do is pick the winners of the week's upcoming games that I post. Each correct pick earns one point;there is no penalty for incorrect guesses. I will keep a tally of everyone's points as the season progresses. Picks must be posted on the board BEFORE KICKOFF (duh), or they will not count. The SOWALer with the most points at the end of the year wins a, hmmm, not sure about that, but isn't glory reward enough?! Now get picking!

WEEK 1 NCAA Football-Deadline to submit picks is 5PM central Thursday August 30

LSU at Mississippi State

Georgia Tech at Notre Dame

Tennessee at California

Kansas State at Auburn

Florida State at Clemson

Copy and past the schedule in your response and highlight your winner!
For example, here are my picks:

LSU at Mississippi State

Georgia Tech at Notre Dame

Tennessee at California

Kansas State at Auburn

Florida State at Clemson

Thanks skunky. We appreciate you. I could have finished at good as 16-2 if NC had won and Va. Tech had won their games. Pooh! I will never let anyone tell me not to pick TCU again though, that is for sure. I am not asking that guy's opinion on anymore picks. My fault I missed that game as I had chosen them on paper and changed it. I am still beating myself up for that one, then I could have been 17-1 this week with the three mentioned games going my way. Oh well, Lisa, get over it.

Yeah, thanks Skunky. Hey Lady D, I feel the same way. If that NC game had gone my way and I hadn't been such an idiot and chosen Michigan State over Ohio State and Navy over Pitt I probably would have done much better too. Alas, there is nothing we can do about it now. However, I am ready to do much better this week though.

Well, so much for trying to do this on my between all my other SoWal activities. I may have to reengage my bookie to help me with my picks. No more picking the cutest quarterback for me. My ranking drops each week. Actually, I'm glad to just be playing. This is a wonderful diversion for everything else going on. But, wait until next year. I'll be bucking for the top spot. :floor:

Right.
