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 again posting the picks 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.

We watch Finebaum every day. He was interviewing someone yesterday who said that there's no way Florida can win. They have lost 29 scholarship athletes. That in itself is enough to disempower them. Then losing their coach iced the cake.

Congratulations to Lady D for being this week's winner. Now that Butch is gone, I wonder who is gonna be your Vols next coach? Y'all can have McElwain. LOL. Congrats to aTmMom for being overall #1 on week 1(along with kurt) and from week 6 through 11. We'll be happy to take you to lunch or dinner the next time you are in town to pick your brain on how you pick your games. LOL. Is your child still at Texas A&M? I'm no longer a Beach Runner. I ran too much and ruined my next. I have trouble walking. I should be Beach Limper (but please don't change my name, kurt).

You won weeks 4 and 5.
The old adage "what have you done for me lately" comes to mind. I am sure I will turn it around this week

No thanks, don't want McElwain. UT needs to really take the time to do a decent search for a top notch coach. I've read they want one in place by December 20th which is something to do with early signing day. They have the money to pay for a really good coach. I feel like since Fulmer was fired all of our coaches since then have come from The Island of Misfit Toys.

Oh no, she graduated in Dec. 2008, a half a semester early! But, I still love the Aggies! I hope to be in town in July for a week, I missed this year due to emergency surgery, 1 week before we were scheduled to be there. Thank goodness I took out trip insurance. I would love to meet for lunch, not sure I'll tell my secrets though. (It's just luck!) Sorry about your injury! I love sitting on the beach and enjoying the view!

Pretty much pre-ordained ...

( School FT students x Scholarship athletes) + Wins to date , divided by Sagarin rankings) - student athletes on probation, + 3 for road wins > 2, -3 for road winds < 3, + points scored divided by points allowed, x last 5 years wins =
the “ pick”

Bring it.
