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

It was sorted on the wins column with secondary sort key being the names column in alphabetical order.

We decided (and Skunky did not overrule us) that we would allow picks for Saturday to be counted as long as they came in by Thursday night. Picks for Thursday night's games that come in after kickoff are counted as a dnp (did not play).

There was at least one occasion where we counted picks posted on Friday in an exceptional case (power/Internet problem due to a hurricane).

Otherwise, I don't think any picks should allowed to be posted or edited after Thursday. People who post/edit this late get the advantage of hearing the latest opinions of the sports prognosticators.

Skunky, this is of course your game. We defer to your ruling on this.

BTW what takes us the most time is going back and looking for edited posts that we've already entered into the spreadsheet. We'd prefer that people who make changes on Thursday do a new post rather than editing an old one.

Prognosticators lol :funn: Its kind of funny how they fail to mention before friday that a quarterback for the team you picked has 12 interceptions on the season and only 5 td passes. They never tell you that beforehand.

We made a mistake on Lady D's West Virginia pick due to the post being edited after we entered it into the spreadsheet. We will go back and fix it later today.

As you can be from one of the charts, there have been almost 4000 picks this season. We always go back and double check, but to err is human.

Sorry, Lady D.

And I thank you as well. So funn to get up on Sunday morning to see how I did. I tried to keep up with all of the games on Saturday, but by Saturday night when all the games have played, I am usually not in any condition to try and find all the scores. :cool: My liver will thank me when football season is over! :biggrin:

BR, let me know the earliest you enter them in the spreadsheet and I will try from now on to make any changes before that happens. Sorry. :wave:

And we appreciate all involved in doing the spreadsheet and Skunky for picking the games. :D

Actually hubby enters the posts pretty much as they come in. That's why it's easy to miss an edit on a previously entered post. We go back through them before we post on Sunday, but like I said, to err is human. :wave:

Wyoming is 3-6 like Tennessee. Hopefully Tennessee will play better this weekend for the sake of the coach. This game is PPV only though.
