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.

He forgot to post his picks. Can he use my picks but forfeit the games that have started already or finished?

Beach Runners husband forgot to post his picks, I know it's past the 9 a.m. CT deadline. He will only have to forfeit the one game between South Florida and Florida State that had a 10:30 a.m. start time since I heard from her around 10:50 a.m.! I am allowing her picks to be his picks for week 2.

Go Big Orange! Even though I picked Oklahoma because I'm not sure you still have enough to beat them, I would be glad to miss that pick with no problem.

Keep the points LadyD. Sure the lines for the 'big games' might change through the week, but the projected blowouts will not change much. Too bad you didn't have the Auburn and Arkansas games with spreads posted! My two cents...

Will try to throw in more like those two moving forward. Having to learn this stuff and how to figure the spreadsheet results each week also where rank is concerned. Totally screwed that up on week 1 and not doing much better on week 2. I am really ignorant where spreadsheet stuff is concerned.

Congrats to aTm Mom for 11 correct for week 2 and the overall lead. Have had a lot of help from BR to make sure this is right.

Glad to help. It's a lot more complicated than I thought it would be because there's so much data. And we've just had two weeks of games.

If I wasn't such a dummy where spreadsheet stuff is concerned it would be easier on all involved.

It's so complicated for a spreadsheet. If I could access Oracle from home, it would be a breeze.Hubby used Visual Basic for the database part. Maybe he will let me use his software.
