Here we go again. I will be running the contest again this year, thanks to the BeachRunners for handling it the last several seasons. The rules are pretty much as you remember them, pick winning teams straight up or, if there is a spread involved I will include the points too. Copy and past the slate into a response and highlight your favorites in bold. Picks due by kickoff. Whoever has the most points at the end of the conference championship games wins. We will do something different for bowls, if there is interest in it. No whining. Take smack talking to the NCAA Battlezone thread. I am going to include some preseason predictions good for end of season points that will be added onto your cumulative season total at the end of the season. Good luck and have fun!

We tried to watch the coin toss for Alabama-Auburn. There was something else on TV when that happened. I googled it. How do we find that out?

I'm pretty sure Alabama won the coin flip. Unless told otherwise, that is what I am going with.

RIVALRY WEEK RESULTS

Kurt and aTm Mom had a great rivalry week, winning the week here and their teams winning in real life. LSU now has a deep rivalry with zebras. But that is another story for another time.

WEEK RESULTS

aTm Mom 11
Kurt 11
Bac 8
Beach Runner 8
LadyD 8
Bob Wells 7
Cnestg8r 7
Skunkape 6
Red Dawg 5

SEASON STANDINGS

aTm Mom 109
Kurt 106
Cnestg8r 105
Skunkape 102
Red Dawg I 99
Bob Wells 93
Bac 91
Beach Runner 88
LadyD 83

Drew Locke passed for 221 yards, for season total of 3125 yards.
Jake Fromm passed for 175 yards, for a season total of 2125 yards.

So Jake has at least two, maybe three games to catch Drew, who only has one more game.

As always, auditing welcome. I assumed Alabama won coin flip, so if that is not the case, someone please correct me (I need the point!)

I am certainly not immune to errors, but from my perspective, the only correct total is 30A Skunkapes'. I'll leave to others to check their own, but here are the won picks for me and Beach Runner. I don't know who won the coin toss, so I used your assumption.

cnestg8r (8)
Mississippi St(-10.5)
Oklahoma
Florida (-4.5)
UGA (-16.5)
Miami(FL)
Arizona St
Vanderbilt
Texas A&M

Beach Runner (9)
Mississippi St(-10.5)
Oklahoma
Florida (-4.5)
UGA (-16.5)
Arizona St
Vanderbilt
Syracuse
Appalachian St
UL Lafayette

However, it is just a fun activity, so it doesn't really matter...

Thanks for coordinating it this year.

Makes sense because Bama would want Auburn to be on offense first.
