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!:biggrin:

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

So, most of us picked USF. OOPS! What is happening? My pre-game info said that USF had plenty of problems, yet the experts had them picked by 2.5 points. I guess 2.5 points is virtually even. Of course you know that the 2.5 takes home field advantage into consideration. :idontno: We'll see soon enough.

Should have listened to him DD. :lol: Only three of us picked Cincinnati, me, Fulmer4Senate and Josh McLean. And I was worried that I made a wrong choice. I sure struggled with picking some of the other games though.

I worry about my selection in the Texas/Texas Tech game Saturday night. Colt McCoy averages way less ypg passing than Harrell of Texas Tech. :yikes:

I looked at the last 4 games of Texas and Texas Tech and Colt McCoy averaged 317 ypg passing. Graham Harrell of Texas Tech averaged 394 ypg passing the past four games. Might be a problem for those of us who chose Texas which is most of us.

Yeah, dammit. :bang:

OOPS! USF lost, and most of us picked them, including myself. It's hubby's fault. :lol: I had a feeling they'd lose, but since most of us picked USF, he said that if I went out on a limb and went against the group, it would be a big loss for me on the pick 'em if USF lost. So I went the safe route ... and lost. :bang:

I dunno. Big D has those stats. He hasn't sent them to me yet. I just know that when I asked him about tonight's game and said I was leaning towards Cinn, he said I'd be going out on a limb since virtually everyone on the pick 'em had chosen USF.

Not to disparage Big D. He gave me great advice. Who would have thought that USF would have had another loss, especially since the odds were on their side?

EDIT: I picked Texas Tech, you picked Texas. We'll see. :eek:

I left mine at the office, and I'm too lazy to look back,but I think we might. I shoulda listened to Mr. DD too. He'll never let me hear the end of it. :roll:

No more Virginia please! Please do not put any more games in here involving Virginia. For the past two weeks I have picked against Virginia only to have them win both games, both upsets. And now I go with them in today's game only for them to let Miami come back with 15 seconds left in the 4th quarter and tie the game up with a bomb pass for a touchdown, and then win in overtime. :bang:

Things are going very lousy today for me pick wise. Fla. State is losing, Notre Dame is on the verge of losing, Mississippi State ended up losing 14-13. :angry: I feel like quitting.

Me either. The only positive thing to today is the enjoyable time my hubby and I had outside today at a huge once a month outdoor flea market. It was a beautiful 75 degrees today and sunny. And then we stopped and got lunch and went to Tippah Lake and sat at a picnic table and ate and then got our chairs out of the trunk and sat on the bank of the lake and soaked up some sun for about an hour.

Oh, and the only other positive is the 1 bonus point I will get for picking Stafford as the one who would have more passing yards over Tebow in the game. I really expected more out of Georgia. Don't understand Smiling Joe's two letters on his post either, just a EF. :idontno:
