Ok college football fans, it's almost that time of year again. For those that have not already commented on the other thread that they are in you can do so here. All are welcome to play. This year Iris and I are corroborating together picking the games each week. Here are the rules for this years pick'em, these are the same as last year.

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. (See #10 below)
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.
10. The 9 a.m. CST/CDT deadline for posting your picks of course is for when all games are only Saturday games. If there should be a game thrown into the picks on Thursday night as there has been at times the picks need to be posted by 6 p.m. CST/CDT that day unless the game is earlier then they will need to be posted before the earlier start time, otherwise, that point will not count for you if the game is already in progress.

Two haven't posted their picks as far as I can tell and hopefully I messaged the correct ones.

I resent ESPN Game Day saying Bama is going to beat up on Tennessee. That they are playing their best ball. I don't see that. I know they won't beat Bama but I don't believe they will blow them out, ugh. But they may be right since we are banged up defensively.

Can't give credit for games in progress (the first four). But I will make an executive decision and accept the rest of your picks. YOU ALSO NEED TO PICK THE UK/MISS ST GAME. GET THAT IN BY GAME TIME.

FYI. Seven people picked Mississippi State, and eight picked Kentucky with points. The rest of the games each had the number of people picking a particular game in double digits. So those who want to move up had better hope they picked the least popular team and won.

No prob. Just trying to protect everyone's back when I happen to notice it.

I'm so proud of my Vols. Even though we are losing this game, and probably will lose it, they have played a great game. Just wish we had those two missed field goal attempts back, Medley doesn't miss often. It would be knotted at 20 now. Vols scored too quickly to go up by one, left Bama too much time. But we still have time and are moving the ball. Cmon Vols.

Well, Bama went for two and didn't make it, and was only up by 5. With that said those two missed field goals would have won the game for us, darn. Don't know what happened on the supposed caught pass for a first down but obviously it wasn't, two sacks happened. And now Tennessee has fumbled and Bama has the ball back deep in our territory. Hope they will just run out the clock and not try to score again. Sad.

Congratulations to cnestg8r for being alone at #1 and to moi for being alone at #2. Also congrats to our friend zuni and me for being the top pickers for the week with 10 picks. Happy that the Jackets upset FSU -- Red Dawg I and Murray are the only ones who picked them. Many ESPN talking heads are predicting that Clemson will be in the College Football Playoff, and they sure looked good today. Some picked Utah for the playoff, but Booger on Finebaum was right about USC winning. Glad I didn't go with him on A&M though. My Dukies won -- someone on ESPN asked if Frank Beamer could ever win another game. ESPN picked Illinois as the Superdog upset -- glad I didn't go with that. But I wish I had gone with "The Bear" and picked Vandy. Glad GT beat FSU even though I didn't pick them -- Go Jackets! Tennessee and Auburn were close to winning -- congrats to those coaches and teams anyhow. I had too much time on my hands this week.
