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

You probably won't believe this, but I was pulling for AU last night. I believe we would have had a better chance against a two-loss LSU team than one with national title hopes still alive.

:clap:Nice! LSU's a scary little team.:creepy: I wouldn't mind seeing them go all the way. They'd KILL Ohio State...

Vanderbilt at South Carolina -- OOPS! Cocks got limp, but Blake got to play
Arkansas at Ole Miss -- it was time for them to win
California at UCLA -- Big D, you picked wrong!

Florida at Kentucky -- chomp
Mississippi State at West Virginia -- I got lucky for once
Tennessee at Alabama -- thank you very much
Michigan at Illinois -- as many times as I've talked to Jeremy Foley about Zook, I had to be against his team
Auburn at LSU -- I knew LSU would win, but my heart was with Auburn
Tulane at SMU -- Tulane actually won a game?:confused:
Army at Georgia Tech -- :D but this doesn't count since it was my "smart a$$" addition, as Miss Kitty noted :floor::wub:

I forgot to send my condolences to you, LadyD. But you know where I was coming from.;-)

I live for college football.

Woo Hoo....ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!!

It was a very good day. I knew there must me a motive for you calling me BR, you just wanted us to win so it would help your Gators. ;-):wave:

Congrats Skunky!!!!! Sorry Kimmi. Great game!!!!!!

Whitey ,the only thing that would have made this win better, is to have been watching the game with you. :wave:

That's right, Kathy! I feel the same way. I watched the game with another Alabama fan and two Tennessee fans. I couldn't celebrate annoyingly like I usually do. I thought one of the Vol fans was going to cry. :biggrin:

On behalf of Florida State University, I'd like to apologize to everyone who picked us to win.

29 - 24, 1:16 left in the dadgum game, and we decide to play Hot Potato...:eek::shock::angry::bang::cuss::puke:

At least we made it home in time to see the end of LSU-Auburn. :blush:


It's hard to play football with both hands wrapped around your throat :shock::bang::pissed:

There are two weeks to the Saban Bowl: The drumbeat for LSU-Alabama started the moment Nick Saban signed his contract in December. Now it's almost here, and it will mean something. Spit cups will be needed to catch all the drool coming from Baton Rouge and T-town until the Nov. 3 kickoff. How great is it that the teams are tied for the SEC West lead (4-1) and both quarterbacks (Flynn and John Parker Wilson) are coming off career highs?

Who would've thunkit? Alabama tied with LSU for first in the West? :wave:

How about this scenario: If Ohio State loses to Penn State (possible) and Boston College loses to Va Tech (probable), LSU will be #1 when they come to Tuscaloosa.

I'm hearing a 4 p.m. CBS kick and ESPN GameDay possibly coming back for this one.

I feel like Gameday has been having a tough time justifying going anywhere other than the SEC.

LSU is superior in depth and talent. And it's not even close. LSU will be at least a 7-point favorite. Alabama probably does not have one single defensive player that could start for LSU.

But in the area of coaching and intangibles..........UA might have an edge.

Les Miles' nutty gambling and crazy good luck have to run out at some point.

What I DO know is Tuscaloosa is going to be one big insane asylum that weekend.
