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

Me, too.

How do I feel about the Florida-Georgia game?:sick: But frankly Meyer can't expect to win a national (or even SEC) championship with no backup for Tebow.

Congrats LadyD and all of you Auburn fans out there. Well, now that the Gators are out of it, guess I'll need to find a new pasttime for fall.:scratch: So today I exercised!

I was 7 for 12 in the SOWAL NCAA pick'em. Wish I had been 8 for 12.

When you put all your eggs in one basket......

Seriously, does Tebow even have a backup?

Tebow was sacked six times...more in one game than he has all year thus far. UGA did a really nice job defensively.

Obviously not.

Tebow was told not to get out of the pocket. Excuse me, I mean, that's how he rolls. No wonder he got sacked so many times. It's kind of like telling me not to be obnoxious -- it ain't possible.;-)

I will not rub it in. I WILL NOT rub it in. As mediocre as we are, I will not rub it in.

But oh god what a wonderful tailgate.

Thanks Beach Runner. Tennessee had me very nervous. That last 1:11 of the game they did what they needed to do. They are very good offensively during a two minute or less drill. I am sure they work on that quite often. I went 9 for 12 on my picks for week IX.

I don't believe you can count the Gators out yet. Tennessee will have to win the rest of their SEC games and they have Arkansas and Vanderbilt at home, and then Kentucky away over the next four weeks. And Arkansas has that good receiver named Marcus Monk that is very tall and very good. No team yet has had someone good enough or tall enough to defend against him.

Ladydebubba-"Lady, you picked 9 correctly and the Vols are in control, now what are you going to do?"; "I'm goin' to Dollywood!".

Skunky, I'm going to try and think positive that they can pull these last games out. Don't think there will be any problem with the only nonconference game they have left, University of LA, Lafayette. Just have to hope Tennessee can practice hard and pull out their 3 remaining SEC games. It is going to be tough. But I am sticking with them.

SIL even scared away the local hangin' out dog screamin' so loud 'bout his Gators yesterday.

'Socks' who hangs out regularly at their house went runnin' home. It was quite loud, I understand. I could only witness a few minutes. ;-)

Some tough games up there...at least I don't have to think about one pick. The LSU/Alabama one will be a hard choice for me..I may have to go with the red on that one .;-) Thanks Skunky, you da man!
