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.

Well, due to breaking my back in March, I've seen every episode of Food Network that I want to see. So I've started watching ESPN or listening to it on Sirius. Sorry you had a bad week, Bob.
What I don't get is how cnestg8r does so well. He works so many hours. He doesn't have too much time on his hands, but I guess he picks well because he has a very analytic mind and is a former varsity athlete.

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.

I selected my picks at the Michael Katz tasting room in Livermore, CA on Friday. For those of you who are winos, if you go to Livermore you might put it in rotation with Napa, great.. real...people. Headed home from Houston today and get to drive 9 hours through the remnants of Patricia. Looking forward to home and watching Alabama kill LSU next week on the upper deck of Whiskey Bravo! RTR!

I was tempted to take a research sabbatical at Livermore, but didn't due to having a baby. We would love to be at the beach next weekend, but we've had too many thugs cause us problems on Halloween. So we turn off the lights and have a gun ready. Have fun at WB! Great place to watch games, even though sometimes it's dizzying for me.

I'm shocked I did as well as I did. Thanks again BR and Lady D for attempting to save me from myself. ;-)

I didn't spot the one game left off of Carson's and m1a1mg's picks though. You spotted those. I should have. Am about to sit down and do the picks for week 9.
