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.

Iris has won 20 out of 25 bowl games. Amazing! She's #1 for bowls and #1 for the entire season. I am #1 for the regular season. Congrats!
Next year I won't go primarily with http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/14377298/alabama-rolls-title-other-predictions-every-game-2015-16-bowl-season.

Would someone tell me how a 5-7 team got in a bowl game? Thought a team had to have 6 wins. And everyone went with UCLA except Red Dawg who went with Nebraska.There weren't enough teams for all the bowl games. Three 5-7 teams went to bowl games. All won.

Didn't know that. Saw two teams were 5-7.

I sure stunk in my picks today. Only one out of 4 correct. Pathetic.

I change my pick to OREGON (vs. TCU)

No changes to any bowl picks allowed after 12/19! See bowl pick rules under post #456. Too many games to keep up with.

Man, I am stinking in the bowl games. Even Murray's algorithm has beaten me! Right now (after the Clemson win) Iris and carson are tied for bowl champs, and Iris and cnestg8r are tied for overall champs.

I saw how he had I think 18 last night. Was thinking wow, he actually makes no picks, just all home games unless it is Georgia and is doing that well.

Not what I expected out of Michigan State in this game against Bama. Pitiful.

Going with Clemson in the National Championship game. 14-0 says a lot. Won't be easy but I don't think Bama will be able to score as easily against Clemson as they did against Michigan State. Hope it doesn't come back to bite me.

GO BIG ORANGE!

Well, the SEC showed well in the bowl games, 8-2. Has to be one of the best conferences there is where football is concerned.

ALABAMA!

Wow, what a comeback for TCU. Down 31-0 at the half and without their main QB and they pull off the biggest comeback in bowl game history according to announcers scoring 47 points total through the second half and 3 OT's to beat Oregon. Congrats on a job well done. PearlsB4U it's a good thing your change of pick wasn't allowed or you would have missed it. I stuck it out with TCU. Glad I did although I wish I had changed a few more than I did. Now if Arizona State could win but I'm not sure they will get past West Virginia.

Congrats to Carson who according to my totals is leading the bowl picks with 30 correct, wow! Bob Wells and Iris have 29 correct! And poor pitiful me is where I've been all season, nearer to the bottom! I know who I can blame for that. Won't name any names though. But it isn't me.

Alabama. I was considering Clemson but then an FSU fan posted that it was an ACC school and there was no way I was going to give that conference the opportunity to claim the best conference!

I pick the SEC to win via Alabama.

I pick opposite IRIS. If IRIS doesn't pick, then I pick Alabama.

Please make your picks for the Championship Game. If you picked Oklahoma in the beginning, you obviously should change your pick. Also because right now there is a three-way tie for bowl champ, please check back for a tie breaker question. This question must be answered by 7 PM CST on money.
EDIT: There also is the possibility of a tie for overall bowl champ between Iris and cnestg8r, so they both should answer the tie-breaker question.
