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!:biggrin:

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

Sandflea, I didn't play the first week as we were at the beach but I did not do that well the 2nd, 3rd and 4th weeks. But did a little better the 5th week, alot better the 6th and 7th weeks. You can also.

And as for the Vols, I don't think people would like the Vols on here if their coach was anybody other Phillip Fulmer. I don't think it would make a difference. But I don't care.

:clap:...yay LadyD!!! You might just be our new motivational coach!!! :wave:

:floor:..skunky, I love the coin toss idea...maybe we could use a mullet instead! :biggrin: BR...we can just laugh at this and call it a tie! :wave:

:wave:...I still miss you OL!

And you are right, I FOR SURE will not be tied with LadyD next week.[/QUOTE]

No, we won't likely be tied after next week. Only if we happened to get the same number correct, but not likely though. We will just have to wait and see. :biggrin:

Wow! I figured Ohio State #1 in the BCS, but USF ahead of Boston College surprises me a bit, and I am pleasantly surprised LSU is within striking distance at #4:clap:

Hatin' on the BCS
http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/news;...zkcvrYF?slug=dw-bcs101307&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

Ohio State (7-0) might wind up No. 1, but the Buckeyes have beaten exactly no good teams. And due to their cupcake non-conference slate and the horrific state of the Big Ten, they won't have to beat anyone really good to waltz into the BCS title game with an unblemished record.

It's so exciting watching the Bucks blow out all these cupcake teams. I really hope we only play the cupcakes and take our title that way. Yeah, there's probably better teams but jeesh, why would we want to play them? We might lose:creepy:and that would be scary. no, no we can't have that.

Ohio State is now #1. LSU fell to #5 according to the AP and USA Today polls.

There are 7 SEC teams in the top 25 right now. Does anyone know if that is a record or if there have ever been more at one time?

Not too worried. Tennessee has a 5-2 record over Bama since 2000. Just having a little fun. Just had to reply to her tshirt in her avatar. Someone that dishes stuff out needs to be able to take it back also. :lol:

It will be a good game regardless of the outcome. :biggrin:

I can take it....bring it on!!!!

Your right, for me it doesn't make a hill of beans to me who their coach is. I still wouldn't like them. But hey, that is just me. :biggrin:

The Vols and I will be. :biggrin:

It doesn't matter to me who likes them and who doesn't anyway. I like them, and that is all that matters. It will be a good game, no matter the outcome. But I think the Vols will rule. :cool:

Ten years ago today, the Bulls were preparing for their first homecoming game. :wave: They had no marching band.

I think it's a fantastic story and great for college football. They have some kind of wierd, good karma thing going on right now. They are also a pretty good football team. I am pulling for them to make the BCS championship.

However, I have to wonder if their schedule strength and conference affiliation will catch up with them eventually. They have two wins over ranked teams. But the rest of their schedule ain't exactly murderer's row. Even if they win out, there is a chance they will get screwed when the final computer rankings/schedule strength comes out. I have a feeling their hold on the #2 spot will gradually shrink over the next four weeks until someome overtakes them.

Nevertheless......

Go Bulls!

All true. Nobody around here would dispute it. Okay, there are a few message board chatters who think the Bulls "should" be No. 1 :roll: but mostly, folks are (giddily) laughing their arses off. It is, as you say, a fantastic story. :cool: Worthy of an extra n in fun. :D
