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

Just a suggestion - you might want to skip Thursday this week. Maybe every week.
Do you think there will be more 5 PM CDT games? I don't remember this ever happening in a game of interest.

Can't believe Tennessee's game is Sunday night instead of Saturday. Ok I guess. Hubby won't be home from work until around 7:30 p.m. so I can see at least the first half without interruption.

Still have people that haven't responded to private messages on whether they are in or not so I guess we will find out if they post their picks.

BTW the slate of games wasn't posted on Saturday because the odds weren't out. Even on Sunday evening they all weren't out, but cnestg8r decided to go ahead and post the slate of games. Thanks, cnestg8r!

An easy way is to highlight the slate of picks from cnestg8r's post, hit Ctrl c to copy them all, click on reply to thread, hit Ctrl v to paste them into your post. Then select the team you want and hit the B button to boldface it. Do this for each game. That way there's no typing involved.

PENN ST @ UAB is not clear. I think I know what you want, but we don't need to be guessing. Beach Runners suggestion works well. Thanks for picking...
