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!😀
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 had a feeling on Houston when I saw you picked them. I thought, "aww..a sentimental pick". Then I thought, "hell, she's probably right", then I thought, "I should change it", then I thought, "puck it". :bang:

9-6 granted is not fantastic, but it is not in the negative like I have been for two different weeks at 7-8. :blink:

Maybe we can learn from our leaders. I am missing something?

Same thoughts here! Bow to the Kittay. :bow:
Nice work Kitty and BeachSiO2!
beats on hood
BeachSiO2, you and Kitty are rockin' and rollin'! It'll be hard to catch up with you two.
Kitty, you've got those Texas schools' numbers -- how did you know TCU and Houston would win? I was 0-2 on those. :bang:
Lady D, we need to send the whinebulance to your house, gull. :lol: You, Miss Kitty, and Arkiehawg were the week's leaders with 11 wins!
Smiling JOe, your strategy worked well this week with South Carolina, VT, and Houston.:clap:
Skunky, cherry on the sundae. :lol: If it's any consolation, no one got the Penn State game right. But your Tigers' game must have been skeery for you. 😱 Everyone in the clubhouse at the Georgia Tech game was cheering when the monitors showed that LSU and FSU were losing.:blush:
Good pick on South Carolina, FL Dawg and Bamabeachbum!
Ditto on VT, BeachSiO2, Arkiehawg, cnestg8r, and Red Dawg.

I have been whining at my poor choices of picks over the past 3 weeks, but finally I righted myself. Glad I did not go with my source on this weeks games, he missed way more than I did. :lol: I don't always go with him but sometimes we do pick the same way on certain games, and sometimes when I go against him he does better and I do bad, which has been the case for the past couple of weeks.

At least you were above 500, look at it that way. I've had nothing but worse other than this week. :lol: I took a chance with Houston by going with them, luckily it paid off. I cannot believe the Hurricanes only managed 7 points. And on my paper before I posted my picks I had circled Va. Tech but changed my mind when posting, I could have been 12-3. :idontno:
Anyway, I am ready for week 5 picks.

Apparently there were three planes taking the Gators to KY. One big plane with the well players and two Citations for the sick ones.
