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

Too easy.

Congrats CP! :clap:
thanks so much. I watched football from 11 am to the end of FSU game.I'm a bit under the weather so I just made a day and night of it. All Ms teams lost yesterday, I really want State to do well under their new coach. We lost our qb last week,so our season is going south fast.I'm really not big fan of the Rebs,and don't know what is wrong with Snead.

Woo Hoo! My son and I both finished 13-2, he doesn't see my picks before I post them and I don't see his. We just happen many times to pick the same way. But on occasion we do try to pick a little different. If someone got 14 or 15 right that is really something.
Congrats! So did hubby and I. :clap:But we picked different teams. Auburn and Georgia were my two losses -- they really let me down. I like those teams (except when they are playing the Gators).

Sorry to hear you are under the weather. I watched football a good deal of the day also through the Ga. Tech game but I'm not under the weather luckily other than the usual sinus issues. Get better.

CP, I watched football a good deal of the day also. I watched the Ga. Tech game to the end. Sorry you are under the weather, my sinus issues are my only problem. I need to do some catching up with you, right. :lol:

BR, congrats to you and your husband. I went against Auburn and Ga., glad I did. The Hogs and the Vols both played very well. Ready for week 7 now.

I wonder if the worthy keeper of the statistics has any data on the success rate of pick switchers? It looks to me like that isn't a good strategy.

I agree with your intuition and can remember specific supporting examples, but they are not part of the database. I think it would be difficult to dig it out of the posts and PMs.

They are #2 in the AP, the AP is not a part of BCS, they are still #3 in the Coaches Poll.
