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!

Things not looking so good for me today, thank you Cincinnati, and Duke isn't doing much better. And Miami is down and Penn State probably will lose also so I'll be lucky to have one correct pick today the way things look right now. One day I will learn to quit picking Duke over anyone. They get within 6 and then let Arizona State get beyond the 50 yd. line on the kickoff. Need some good things.

"Under further review", Lady D had Utah St, not UTEP as recorded. She has 10 correct bowls. Records are corrected. (=)

Well, Arkansas winning has been the only bright spot for me today pick wise.

Announcers in the Auburn/Wisconsin game said the low score of the game favors Wisconsin, hope not. Luckily Auburn scored on a nice TD pass play.

Ha ha, no chance of me catching you. And Auburn is about to cost everyone, thinking no one went with Minnesota, take that back, two went with Wisconsin.

Not happy at all with Auburn and Baylor both losing, cost many on here, me going with Ohio State paid off.

Roll Ducks roll. The SEC'S better than anyone else mystique wore off.

Well, it looks like you get the point on the Houston/Pitt game since Pitt could not come away with either onside kick which helped Houston.

I am a U of H alum. Good to see them win. I went there when Andre Ware was there and we won games. Been a while!

0-2 today, not good. Changed my pick of Tennessee to Iowa, shouldn't have, just didn't think Tennessee would have what it took to beat Iowa. After what I've seen the past two days with some of the games not discounting anything happening this late in the 4th quarter. Happy for my Vols. I've seen a side of them I did not expect to see in this bowl game.

What does anyone get for this if anything?

It has been brought to my attention that adding picks beyond the single game is unfair. In the interest of integrity, only the first pick will count towards the championships. The others are optional for fun.

Why is adding picks beyond the OR/Ohio State game unfair? Just curious who it would be unfair to?

Silly me, I thought all of this was for fun. Cnestg8r, thank you for all that you do!
