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

Heck, at about 1 PM EST yesterday I told hubby that I was gonna change my pick from Pitt to WV. He said, "You can't do that. Games have already started." I thought they started at 7 PM EST. :bang: Glad I didn't change it.:blush:

Sorry I didn't have your back. I was so busy with my family and packing for the beach that the pick 'em took a back seat, so I didn't check who had and hadn't posted.:(

UGA is looking awesome against GT. Clemson is killing Carolina, and Smelley is playing smelly. Looks like DD will go to #1 by herself. Congrats, DD!:clap:

The Florida and Alabama games haven't started.

EDIT: Georgia Tech has just gone ahead! :clap:

I couldn't watch today. I pm'd Kitty yesterday about changing my pick to SC. But, in the end I decided to let the chips fall where they may. LSU and GA let us down today. But, Toots made some great picks!! :D

Georgia let me down for sure, as did Oregon State. But my Vols didn't. I don't know what has happened to them these last two games, but I like it. Should have had that kind of offense all year long. I am actually tied for 1st this week with Fulmer4Senate, DD and CP, I think I figured that right. Yippee! :clap:

BTW, who won the coin toss at the beginning? The game was late being aired. As were several games. By the time they started showing the Kentucky/UT game, there was only 5 minutes left in the first quarter.

:wave:...it was a bad loss, for sure, but such a good game! Perhaps if the Mizzou defense had shown up, the outcome would have been different. :roll: However, as much as we wanted Mizzou to win, KU deserved that win! Congrats!

I think that game and the OU v. OSU game were college football at it's finest!

Hey Miss Kitty, I feel bad about not checking to see who has not picked yet. I usually do and did not think a thing of it Friday. :( In the past when I thought you or DD had not picked I pm'd you. Sorry.

I sent BR a note that I changed my pick to LSU in the game with Arkansas
I'll bet you wish you hadn't! I wish I had picked Georgia Tech.:blush::(

BTW for those of you who didn't post this week, if it's like last year, Skunky will do the bowl games separately. We'll all start at 0-0. So you can jump back in, that is, assuming Skunky has the time to start the bowl pick 'em.

I'm trying to remember if we did one for the conference championships. Do you remember? I would say probably not.

Here they are. The colors are in honor of Georgia Tech's first win over Georgia since 2000 (yet I didn't pick them :bang:). Congratulations to greenroomsurfer for being the only one to pick that game correctly. Congratulations to the top pickers, DD (argh -- you went ahead of me :bang:), Lady D, and Fulmer4Senate. :clap:Also note that Ocean Lover has the most bonus points.







And the details:

There were bonus points for SEC East, SEC West, the ACC champs, and the BCS champs. But none for the SEC (or any other conference) champs.

I was wondering if we picked who we thought would win the games for all the conference championships like we do the normal weekly picks. Many of the conference championships are next week or weekend.

Well, if Skunky puts these games in the Week XV pick 'em, then we will have the opportunity to choose the conference champs in the same manner in which we've made our picks all season.

If he didn't want to do that part of it I could. But if they are spread out that might make it difficult to tell people when to have their picks posted. If they were all during one week it would be one thing but if they are spread out over several weeks that would not be easy. it would have to be done split up. I need to quit suggesting things. :roll: :lol:

I was talking about the conference championships this upcoming weekend, not the bowl games. Skunky did the bowl games in a separate pick 'em last year. Makes sense. :wave:

I thought you were talking about the bonus picks from earlier in the year where I lost all of my bonus points. :roll:
