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

Puck Tennessee :bang:, especially Daniel Lincoln. The guy we can usually rely on to make field goals cost us the game with a second kick too low to where it got blocked a second time straight by that big fat thing. Just one of those field goals was all we needed to win. You would have thought he would have learned his lesson from the previous one that he could not kick that one too low.

I lost my voice at Bryant-Denny today yelling for our defense and special teams-defense. Thank goodness for Leight Tiffin & Terrence Cody. And all that weather talk about a pleasant 65 degrees never reached my tailgating spot or my seats in the west stands.

Lincoln has a quadriceps injury and is not able to get the ball high and get the distance, and the line did not hold.

They outgained the number 1 team by 95 yards for a team rebuilding I thought they played a heck of a game.

I am proud of them and Ole Miss, who played a great game against Arkansas.

Wasn't aware of any injury to Lincoln, didn't ever hear anything mentioned. But he has had games when not injured where he has missed most of his field goals in a game. Someone kicked a field goal for the Vols and Lincoln missed all three of his attempts, so it had to be Chad Cunningham, the Vols punter/place kicker. They should have given him a crack at one of the ones Lincoln missed, the Vols would have faired no worse.

Lincoln apparently did make a field goal for the Vols in the second quarter, but it was a 24 yarder.

It would be cool if we could get the picks early. By the time the picks are on here, and I'm sure its not just me. But, I have to rush to get them on there in time because I have very little time to research before I choose who I'm going to pick. I just think that we all could use a little more time. Thanks.

I research a little, you can see for sure it gets me nowhere. I am near the cellar, I've never been next to last. :(

Some games I am just not certain on, and I need some time to research some games. Some are obvious, but some aren't. And you might need time to mull it over. Thats all I'm saying about it.

:lol:

Before we choose the games for the pick'em, we need to do some research, getting the poll results, the lines, think about which conferences have important matchups, etc. We try not to pick blowout games (except for the more popular teams on the board), and we try to choose a sampling from conferences other than the SEC, ACC, and Texas teams. As a result, we like to wait until Monday. :wave:
