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

What did you change? Should have been in a new post.
SoWal InsiderAuthor
So if you went with Oklahoma over West Virginia and the point spread like I did I still have missed it because it's going by the 12.5 pts instead of the 7.5 it actually ended up being which was out of our control.

Nothing. I was going to change oklahoma but didnt.

Oh ok. Just wondered because sometimes I will change my mind and do the same thing.

Some may find it interesting that only 38% of us are better than 50% correct picks. The leader is only 60%. We have never had a perfect pick of our normal 15 games.

I'm going to give credit to the selection of games that are tough to call. It sounds better that way.
