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.

That California vs North Carolina seems to have been a difficult one to pick... wish we would have had points for the Florida game...

Likely I should not have accepted this LYFT offer.
Might have been safer to stay with Uber?
Anyways, LYFT driver Anorexia , whole claims to spend her waking hours predicting the habits of young men barely out of high school.., already providing me precise information relative to Week 2 CFB games
,
Started out simply enough...how are you? having a nice day?do you own a dog?
( stuff like that)
2 miles into the ride, we'e talking Kiffin tendencies inside the 40 yard line, Saban's vacation proclivities, and whether Auburn or UGA will finish with the best record for 2017...
Let-up games, Look-Ahead conversations....and before you know it, I am left standing in my driveway, speechless...as she drives away
Looking at next week's games, and under a strict oath-of confidentiality,she left me with a handful of " upset alerts" for Week 2, and about a dozen EZ spread covers
Finally, before pulling away at the curb, after haggling over the tip (should it be $3? Or $4?)..she said she'd throw me a bone...Alabama vs. xxxxxxxx xxxxx U, 2025 college season kick-off game, and the over- under of 47. And the fact that Tennessee WILL win week 1 same year....
Naturally, I am a bit Leary ( think Timothy) , but:
Pick'Em could be verrrry, verrrry " interesting " Week 2...
( Jusy Saying....)

Can't believe it. Marked UCLA as losing in this game. Now up by 1 with 39 seconds left after being down 44-10. Go UCLA.

So proud of my Vols for finding the ability to battle back from 21-7 down to win in 2OT. One game I don't feel bad about picking incorrectly. Didn't look like I picked wrong though going into the 3rd quarter. Way to go Vols.

Good games, Nest-R
On my way right now to the Tarot Card reader hangs out in front of The Bellagio
( really want to get in on those early " soft" betting lines... weak2)
Weak? Or Week?
- (We'll know in just a few short days...)
But, more important, BellagioBetty doesn't work out, I'll head on over to visit the barmaid at Dottys Video Poker and Brewery....
- Heck, I might just do both anyways...and it's likely Beer30 somewhere...
Got to fund my retirement somehow...
And those back-door money-line covers by UCLA and TN?
WHAT THE HECK??....

Will crash and burn this week probably but I faired better a couple of years back by picking without looking at the odds. Did worse going by the odds. So it is what it is.

Game has now been canceled due to all k-12 public schools, state universities and state offices in Florida being ordered to close now by Governor Rick Scott so they can be used as shelters if needed. Just heard it on our local news.

I wish I had gotten the spread on UGA/ND early enough to include. I thought about trying to substitute it today for the Memphis/UCF game, but unless everyone got a pick in, it wouldn't work. Anyway, Go Dawgs!
