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

I was definitely screaming. I even annoyed some Tech fans. I have a special scream that I do at football games.;-)

No yellow wig. :lol: That would have violated the whiteout rule, although in the AJC today they had photos of kids in white, but wearing the yellow wigs.
:bang:
Me, too.

Where'd the Tennessee offense come from all of a sudden??? It has been nonexistent all year except for a couple of games. Could it be the JV quarterback generating it other than he is not that great a passer but he can run the ball.

I'm shocked.

I think you've faired better than you think. I'm the one screwed this week. Did anyone expect Maryland to be getting beaten so badly by Fla. State on their own home field? I don't think many expected LSU to lose so badly to Ole Miss either. But Ole Miss did beat Florida though.

I sure did not expect Texas Tech to play as lousy as they are playing. :bang: Trying an onside kick on the opening kickoff in the second half was a dumb move.

Oh, goodness, you picked MN too! What were we thinking? 55-0. :bang: Hubby is working on the results right now. My guess is that he is having trouble deciding colors for the bar graph. I mean, both Oklahoma and Texas Tech have red.:idontno:Maybe he'll just keep it orange and blue.;-)

Minnesota has had a fair team this year up until this game I think. But Iowa did beat Penn State. Iowa and Minnesota both were 7-4 before last night's game. Nine of us picked Minnesota. What were we thinking??? :(

I think we weren't thinking at all. This is a pick em I wish I could have back. I would have gone with Iowa, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, Florida State and Mississippi State.

There have been many weeks I wish I could do over. Oregon State almost lost. If they had not kicked that field goal at the end that would have been another miss.

Forget that latest line crap, it doesn't mean anything. What I need is a big purple ball that tells me who is going to win every single game from here on out.

I'm sure glad they kicked that field goal to win because I sure would have hated to finish 9-6.
