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

Man, I really need to rack up the next two weeks to boost myself up a bit. Those upsets drive me absolutely nuts. Who would have thought Notre Dame would have won? Its like Lady D said, everytime I go with them, they lose, if I go against them, I lose. I'm still not seeing the win anywhere in there, just lose lose. :bang:

Yeah, right. :roll:
I need a crystal ball---instead of a husband!!:lol:
I am just the opposite. My picks are better with my DH! :biggrin:

Sorry, DD. But thanks!:wave:


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:

Thanks, BR. When we were picking some we just guessed on. no rhyme or reason. Florida State really did mess a bunch of us up. I was worried that LSU was going to do it also. I figured nobody picked Troy (and they did not) LSU has alot of work to do. Troy's quarteback was/is good. We just need one and it seemed that at the end of the game last night one was kinda sorta emerging. We will see...

This has been so much funn! Thanks! :wave: I do love the graphs!

Forget the tailgate invitation for Thursday night at the Georgia Tech game. :wave: It's gonna be 30 degrees at kickoff. No way I'm gonna eat chili out in that "chilly" weather. I think we'll go to Nuevo Laredo, and then hit the clubhouse at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
