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. Cnest8gr is taking back over the picking the games this year. 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. 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.

cnestg8rBeach Fanatic862 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticWednesday morning is about the halfway point of the bowl games. I'll post the preliminary results at that point. As of this time, Beach Runner is the Bowl Leader by 2 picks. Carson is the Grand Champion Lead by 2 picks. PearlSB4U won the regular season, but is missed in the bowl series.

The only incredibly stupid thing that I didn't take into consideration is the location of the bowls. Like not picking Hawaii in the Hawaii Bowl. I will keep that in mind next year.:bang:

I've totally crashed in these bowl games. These 6-6 teams are causing many problems for the supposed to be better teams.

In the original bowl picks, many also picked the Championship winner before it was known who would be playing. Most picked Alabama, one picked Clemson, and the few left made no pick. If you are happy with your original pick, you do not need to do anything. Anyone who would like to pick or change your original pick now can do so up to midnight Jan 8. This applies only to the Championship game.
It could be a good game if recent games are any indication.

Go Dabo, the nickname derived from his 18-month-old brother referring to him as "that boy" or "da bo'" as a baby.

Beach Runnerbeats on hoodNear the ATL and in SoWal as often as possible15,269 postsJoined View profileMessagebeats on hoodCongrats to 30A Skunkape for being the Bowl Champion. This is special because Skunky started the pick'ems in 2007, thus this is the end of the 10th season. Thanks, Skunky, for starting this fun tradition. Congrats to cnestg8r for coming in second in the bowls. Congrats to carson and cnestg8r for being co-champs for the entire 2016-2017 SoWal College Football Pick'ems. PearlSB4U, congratulations again for being the regular season champ (we know that you chose not to do the bowl games). Also thanks to cnestg8r for being the statistician for the pick'ems and to Lady D for being the moderator.
