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.

2 and 1, Arizona state couldnt help this guy out....

I print out the weeks picks and circle the ones and then usually post what is there. I had NC circled over Pitt but obviously changed my mind and went with Pitt. Big mistake since I would have been 3-0.

Thanks a lot Texas Tech for letting Oklahoma State run 70 pts up on you, 70-53 is a basketball score.

Agreed. Like hubby said sarcastically, "Great defense."

What happened to GT? They did so well last year. Texas is messing up all but two of the pickers. ESPN has been hyping Kentucky all week. Oops! And they were saying Temple would win (Temple who?), so with the points, I went with Temple. Richt is a great guy (I think Finebaum has a man crush on him), but one of his callers said Richt needs to become a preacher. BTW so proud of the Gators and what Coach Mac has done. I'm still stunned by their success this year so far.

Is 17 all in the Notre Dame game but Temple has the points so that is going to be another miss for me. My picking different in several to try to gain some ground has backfired big time.

So proud of my Vols. Started off fairly slow but ran away with the game in the second half. If we keep playing this way hopefully we can win out. Hate I missed the 75 yard TD.

Congrats to cnestg8r for staying ranked as #1. And congrats to carson for getting the most picks correct this week. Now I'm going to try again to go to sleep after being so wired about the Gators' win.

Shouldn't have been a TD. Bad call by the refs. Most ridiculous thing I've seen.The guys knee was down. Should have been over and a win for Duke.

Doesn't change the outcome of the game unfortunately for Duke.

The ACC should do so. As it was the last play of the game, the final score should be reversed.

From what I've read they aren't doing that unfortunately. When I saw Duke up with 6 seconds left I was happy. And then when I saw the final score was the other way I thought what the heck!

Please note: Revision to rule #10 of the pick'ems.

10. REVISED: Saturday picks are due before the scheduled game time (not kickoff time) of the first Saturday game which is usually 11 a.m. CST/CDT. If your picks are submitted late on Saturday, you will forfeit all games for which the scheduled time is prior to when you submit your picks. For Thursday/Friday night games the picks need to be posted before the scheduled game time (not kickoff time) of the first game which is usually 6 p.m. CST/CDT unless the game time is earlier, in which case they will need to be posted before the earlier start time. Just as on Saturday, you will forfeit all games for which the scheduled time is prior to when you submit your picks.
