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

BR--you can thank me later.:floor:
:lol: Hubby was all over Northwestern and encouraged me to pick them. I was skeered -- I mean, they are like Tulane, sort of proud to be intellectuals instead of being into intercollegiate athletics.

The men (Mr. DD and Mr. Sunkist) were split on Northwestern. I already told them next week I'm making my own picks. Not that it will matter!!!!!!!!! :bang:

I'm almost afraid to see how my picks went today. Started Sat. 0/2. Had nice dinner at Shades watching games. Nice set up for a sportsbar on 30A. Forgot to take my list, so actually just relaxed and enjoyed the company. Will have to see how it all went.

So perhaps I spoke too soon. ;-) I had faith that the Tigers would come back. Did you have faith in Bama tonight?

OMG! What a game.

Little IBD's first college football game LIVE and it was against Troy (my alma mater :blush:) so of course I was torn on who to pull for so I wore black and purple. :biggrin:

We had great seats (48 yard line) and by the half we had lots of room to stretch out as many people left. At the beginning of the 3rd we left as it was 46' outside and they ran out of cups for the hot chocolate. :angry: Of course in the car we got to hear 3 touchdowns on the radio....:bang: and LSU pulled it out.

Yes, so much so that we had dinner out with the Kittys and Dargs and let the tide and tigers figure out how to do it without us:lol:

The upsets drive me crazy. :wacko: Dang NC and ND, when I go with them they lose, mainly in the case of ND, and when I go against them they win. Same problem I had with Virginia.

And I could kick myself for changing my BC pick to Fla. State now. I do not know why I keep going against my better judgment and what I initially circled. Never again.

Thanks everyone for all they have done. Look forward to 2009.

When we were double checking the picks before posting them all, it was amazing when we went through the last 5 games. Only SJ picked Stanford, and that's because he always picks the home team unless Georgia is away. Only sonny (top picker), IBD, and DuneLaker picked Vandy, every one picked LSU (whom ESPN today called a "fraudulent" top 25 team :idontno:), and you were the only one who picked BC. Oh, and all of the top pickers went for Oklahoma State.

The big games this week are Texas Tech @ Oklahoma, BYU @ Utah, and Michigan State @ Penn State. ESPN talking heads are saying that Texas Tech is the best no-loss team (they say Alabama is overrated), but that the home field advantage for Oklahoma will be a factor, speculating that being in Lubbock is what put Tech over Texas in that big win.

Then I'll have to decide between my sentimental favorite, Georgia Tech, versus Miami. If any of you are going, stop by my chili tailgate between the Klaus and architecture buildings. :wave:
