Thanks to the generous volunteering of time by Beach Runner and cnestg8r and by popular demand, the picking contest is back in 2011! So far as I know the format will be the same as it has been in years past-I will look for guidelines to be announced by the aformentioned Gator fans soon. Hard to believe this will be year five! Wow! As a reminder, please, we all know half the fun of football is razzing the opponents regarding their shortcomings and expanding team rap sheets-but please try to keep that activity in the NCAA Battlezone thread and keep the picking thread mostly about picking, although discussion regarding picks and performance does add to the picking thread, in my opinion.

With that said, get ready and keep an eye on this thread for the game to hatch! I'm hoping for another great year of SOWAL football funn! GEAUX (insert your team name here)!:cool:



1. The games for each week's SoWal Pick'em will be posted on or before Monday evenings
2. The deadline for making your pick for any game is 9 AM Central Time on date of that game.
3. Anyone who misses the deadline (as defined in #2 above) will forfeit all games not picked for that date.
4. Any changes after a pick is made must appear in a new post, not in an edited prior post, and by 9 AM Central Time for the date of the game for which your pick is changed. Failure to do this will result in your change being invalid.
5. Each correct pick earns one point.
6. The winner of the SoWal Pick'em will be the person who has the most points, not the highest percentage of correct picks.
7. Bonus questions may be included later in the season in case a tie-breaker is needed. The points from these questions will not be added to a picker's total points for the season.
8. Leaders for each week, for the regular season, and for the bowl games will be recognized. However, the winner of the SoWal Pick'em will be the person with the most wins for the season, including bowl games.

Happy picking!:wave:

Welcome to each of the new "pickers". New pickers will win double the victory prize should they prevail. Encourage more to join.

Go Dawgs!
Hey, welcome to the pick'ems! :welcome: It's a lot of fun. My hubby cnestg8r, my sister, and I are all Gator alums and big fans. That being said, we are from Atlanta, so as long as the Dawgs aren't playing Florida or Georgia Tech (daughter is a GT alumna and her husband is a grad student at GT), we're for the Dawgs (unless the line predicts them to lose). :lol:

Why no Miss State on the 1st?

No good answer really, except we need to pick a finite number. I didn't include any of the four teams I follow. That being said, any future games that someone wants to be considered should be posted as a recommendation by Saturday of the previous week. We'd like to include all of the games of interest to the pickers.

If someone would like to be a guest selector of a week's games, please step up. Three of us are involved now, but we could take a week off.

If you look at the odds, MSU is favored by a whopping 29 points as of right now on ESPN. Out of line with the other picks. Also on cbssportsline.com MSU is ranked in the top 25, Memphis is 119 out of the top 120 teams chosen by CBS. Just didn't seem to be an interesting game.

We would have liked UF in there, but by the prognostications, not an interesting game.
Although I will be on the edge of the sofa, nervous about how Muschamp will do in his first game in Gator Country.

I think we need a sponsor and a prize! Or would that be considered gambling?

Great to see the season underway. Just wish I could catch some of the games at Bud & Alley's. May have to bring my iPad and watch the streaming video. Think I'll have a crowd?!!!
