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.

Congrats to Red Dawg (woof-woof), Bob Wells, and RNBParts for tying for first this week. Y'all are barking up my tree! I gotta be careful this week. Skunky, sorry you were unable to pick. You should have contacted me and I would have put in some picks for you (like picking every home team unless LSU is the away team). That is, if that's okay with the other players. The same courtesy could extend to other players. What do you think, Lady D and cnestg8r?

I'd agree with that.

Just like Sergio having to hit it off a rock @ The BMW Championship , seeking a better ( golf) lie...still better than being drowned...OK, OK, so looking like going to have to go even deeper for " True Lies" ( Arnie and Jamie Lee) week 4...

Can anybody tell the truth? Is Jason Bourne for real?

Maybe, just could be....Or, NOT!

It's Celebrity Chef week here ( or, at least someday ItCouldBe)...and " home cooking" is about to get a new meaning...

Good with me, except it may not be clear what each person's preferred team would be. Perhaps it is just all home or all away.

I did this week's picks, but I'll either need someone to pick for me next week UNLESS I can pick on Friday 9/29, and then I will probably forget. I will be on a cruise and I only bought Carnival's basic package so I can Facebook, Instagram and do Messenger but not much else. Just make sure you pick FSU over Miami. (Of course, those who know my real name can send me a reminder on Messenger!)

OK, going forward, if a regular misses, they will get all visitor's picks unless they have explicitly picked one exception. In fairness, I will apply this the earlier weeks as well. After all, it is for fun, not money.

I can try to send you a reminder on here Friday the 29th, if there isn't a Thursday night game you should be ok I would think. We will be on the road that day also but not until later in the day.

At the Sushi Bar Aria hotel/Casino, and it all came together for me...YaKuZa don't mess around...

Sushi Chef, Chop-Chop ( English translation, not his...) put it all in a rice-cooker, and came out with this:

( no tea leaves, no advanced yoga techniques, nor were any birds or reptiles harmed during this discussion...)

Alphabet soup?

Now that is another matter.

Utah. Let's be serious, here.
Arkansas. Gus don't git'er'done here? he's under the bus , for real...
Army ( they got guns, and there ain't no forgetting that!)
Houston. FEMA cleaning up, with or without Hermano
FSU - 11.5. Really?
Georgia Tech..Pitt letdown after last week...
UCF. ( c'mon, it's Merry Land!)
NCarolina. (sorry , but Devils aren't blue ( they are red!!)...if this were Halloween, I'd have a different opinion...)
Wake Forest, in a battle for the hill-country supremacy ( can anybody ' holler?)
Michigan -9.5. Hard-Baugh got his own TV show? UGotts'BKidding!!!Purdue takes one for the team...-and TheNetworks ( it's all about the $$)
Florida. With or without the posse...
SMU. Likely close to 100 points scored.
Georgia, by 2
NotreDame. It's Kelly, or Jelly after this one...Kelly hangs on for another...
Stanford... Really? Yup, just too many teams named after those birds...and Australia effect worn off...Rosen, Rosen a car dealership, and you know how they roll...

I wish you all the best!

Messaged RNBParts about their picks. So if they don't get their picks posted they will get all visitor picks I'm assuming. They still have time to post.
