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

If I recall BR said the bowl games would be done separately as if we were starting over. But I'd be ok with them adding on to our totals already. Either way. I'm doing the bowl game thing locally for $$$. Came close to winning that last year. I plan on winning this year. :biggrin:

Bowl Pick 'Em?

Hey, Skunky, we all really appreciate you doing the football pick 'em during the regular season. :clap:

Now will you do one for the bowl games, pretty please?:wave:Hubby and I will do the stats.

Clarification:Miss Kitty, you really have not won anything, you just finished the regular season at #1. As is the case with Ohio State, you can't claim a championship without bowling, so you are obligated to pick bowls. :wave:

BR...I jsut went and looked this up. I thought I remembered the pick'em season went through the bowl season. So, unless the rules have changed, the winner takes the trophy at the end of the bowls!

:floor:...it was a bit hysterical reading through some of the posts from last year.

We must have ESP. Hubby and I were just looking up how it was done last year. There are 34 bowl games this year. He's got them all in a spreadsheet with the lines and the networks on which they are televised. Some of them don't look interesting. I'm thinking all BCS teams plus SEC and ACC and other teams that board members seem interested in?

Back to my research. :lol: And folding laundry so we can hit the road to the beach.

Here's the rules from last year [ame="http://www.sowal.com/bb/showpost.php?p=322337&postcount=2321"]SoWal Beaches Forum - View Single Post - SOWAL NCAA pick'em[/ame]. My memory has not served me well (it rarely does :bang:). I thought the bowl pick 'em was in a separate thread (it wasn't) and that everyone started over (not so). Skunky said, "Anyone is welcome to play but I will be calculating a final score only for those who had a total score reflected in the week XIV results summary." In this season that'd be week XV.

Back to packing.
