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, only three of us picked Pitt: miaimg, carson, and Murray. That was one of the games I was surest of! Argh!
BTW everyone picked Duke. The two games in which we picked most differently were the A&M-Alabama and Stanford-Arizona State games.

Why did Notre Dame have their TD called back on 3rd and 10? I got the point anyway despite them losing but the guy was wide open in the end zone. Must have been some holding I didn't see.

Oh wow. I was downstairs for a minute and came back in and saw the TD did not count and they were backed up around the 20 yard line.

We checked all the picks. I picked Cal, not UCLA. So I only had 8 wins. So I have a total of 56 wins, but this doesn't change the rankings. This has been corrected in the records.
Congrats to steel1man and the rest of the top 5 winners so far.

You are a hard one to sneak up on Steel1man. Thinking you've done this before.

We're very sad about the Gators. With the amount of money they have, it's amazing that they have done so poorly this year and last year. They need to get rid of the coach.

They have given Muschamp..Muschump..too long. Too many good, young coaches out there not to have a good FL team.

Wonder how Texas feels about the whole coach in waiting think? #Mischamp

Too many good, young coaches out there not to have a good FL team.Like I've said before, the Florida AD Jeremy Foley fired his best friend Zook in a more timely manner than he has handled Muschamp. I emailed Foley last year and was one of many who demanded the firing of Muschamp. Remember that the Gators lost their last seven games last year. Are the Bull Gators controlling things? I'd guess so. I hope that they see that Muschamp is hopeless, and that with all of the money that The University of Florida has, they can hire anyone they want. Jeremy, let's take care of Muschamp ASAP.

This year, too many middle tier teams are schizophrenic.
Of course, that's what makes this fun.
