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

Yes...overlooked that one; so I'll catch up by 1 game or fall behind by 1. Ready for the games to get here (even though my team is off this week).

Really, these underdogs surprise you sometimes. Was hoping to do better than 10-5 this week, not getting off to a good start.

Hopefully not many. ESPN College Gameday says USC will fall against Oregon, Auburn will fall and Miami, FL. Hope not for the latter two.

Lady DSoWal InsiderMemphis, Tennessee, United States6,131 postsJoined View profileMessageSoWal InsiderYahoo, my Vols won big 31-13 over South Carolina and I finished 13-2 along with two others, could have been 14-1 if Va. Tech would have won, they should have, but I'll take 13-2, no problem. Way to go Big Orange! :clap:

For the eight unanimous games(except SJ's method), we were all 7-1 and about 4-3 for the other seven. However, cp, TooFarTampa, and Lady D were each 6-1 for those seven with 13 total wins.
Congratulations to cp moving into a first place tie with Beach SiO2 and 100 total wins.
LSU did a good job covering the line (30.5). It should make for a good matchup with AL this week.
Hearing no objection, we may include other point spreads from time to time.
