Ok college football fans, it's almost that time of year again. Some have already asked if there is going to be a pick'em again this year. Comment here if you plan on playing this year. All are welcome to play. This is my 2nd year of being moderator over the pick'em, along with help from BR, whose husband will pick games for us again this year. Thanks to both of you. Here are the rules for this years pick'em, these are the same as last year with one addition.

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. For some games that are of great interest, but in which one team has a lopsided advantage, points may be added to the underdog's score by the person choosing the slate of games each week.
6. Each correct pick earns one point.
7. The winner of the SoWal Pick'em will be the person who has the most points, not the highest percentage of correct picks.
8. 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.
9. 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!

Lady D

Well, the Vols succeeded in keeping the losing streak going. Did not even look like the Worley from last week. No protection for our QB. Settling for 3 when needing 7 pts. Done with them.

Yes, we were very surprised that The Gators won.

I'm not. The Vols are scared of the Gators and playing them. It's evident in the way they play when playing them. They beat themselves with their poor play but you can only blame the offensive coaches for the poor play calls.. And to me there were many.

Week 6 Pick'ems Results
In a week that promised to be difficult (and it was), Lady D and Murray Balkom managed a 11 game week. There is some irony in that. Congratulations to steel1man for maintaining a healthy overall margin.

My daughter was at the Grove last night and said our Ole Miss friends were not the least gracious in their victory. Come on Oxford, you're better than that...maybe....

You can never have one too many "roadies"... well, unless you are driving home from Red Bar on Saturday night...and forget about that 25mph "zone"

But this week am reporting "live" from Las Vegas....So after careful consultation with a bunch of grizzled veterans, hardened gambling addicts, bag ladies, and cab drivers ( most have which been one of the above), and hanging out from downtown Freemont Street to the Mandalay Bay, and from The Hard Rock to The Orleans, it all came down to hearing Willie "OnTheRoadAgain" Nelson, and after careful study of all analytics, time to pick ALL 15 ROAD TEAMS!

BYU
RICE
NORTHWESTERN
GEORGIA
WEST VIRGINIA
DUKE
AUBURN
OREGON
BOSTON COLLEGE
WASHINGTON
PENN STATE
LSU
CONNECTICUT
MISSISSIPPI
USC ( SO. CAL.)

forget the point spread, forget the turnover margin, forget points in the RedZone
