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

Quick story. I was out of town for Turkey Day. It slipped my mind and I was on a plane flying back home with the new GoGo WiFi on a plane. It was free thanks to Google so I logged in with my blackberry to keep up with the Ala/AU game. During halftime I checked Sowal and there were pm's from BR reminding me (big thanks 2 you) so I was able to send them in. Technology is CRAZY sometimes.

Glad you got last night's and today's posted. Usually I notice when someone hasn"t posted their picks. 4 games early today, two SEC and two others. 3 at 11:00 a.m.!

glad you made it Beachsi02!:wave:
I'm not doing so good this week. Made my picks in a hurry trying to get the T'giving meal together while sick a s a dog. I don't think I'll get the 20+pts in the FSU FL game right either,but decided not to change it.

C'mon Vols and Hogs! Both winning will make me happy, need Ga. Tech to win also. The Vols need to get another TD, ooh, great call in the Vols favor, definite pass interference. We need 6 out of this, not 3. 😀 Dang Kentucky player, didn't need that sack which forced a punt. Don't think I can watch the rest. 😱

I hear ya Aggie, could you hear me singing Rocky Top? :lol: But dang the Hogs for missing that tying field goal just to the right. Hopefully Ga. Tech can still find a way to win and Stanford also.

Wk 13 Results

Congratulations to cp's contimued dominance!

BR and I are proud to join SJ in the weeks lead. Rival's week lived up to its reputation.

Congratulations to the six highlighted that managed to move up in the ranking despite the chaos!

There will be a small set of games for Wk14, and then the bowls. I think last year we tracked 34 bowls.

Cool, I'm glad. I am sure these are not conference championship games! From what I heard there were around 7 games. Maybe I can pick good on that small number. :lol:

If anyone has a game that they want to include in this week's pick 'em, just PM either cnestg8r or me. There are definitely some conference championships that should be included (SEC, ACC), plus cnestg8r has had another request.

I just looked up the other conference championships that I think should be included:
Mid American Championship: Ohio vs. Central Michigan
Big East Championship: Cincinnati vs. Pittsburgh
Big 12 Championship: Texas vs. Nebraska
Pac 10 Championship: Oregon State vs. Oregon
