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.

After listening to the prognosticators all week, I was 100% sure of all of my picks. Then Utah lost last night. Heck, now I'm thinking that I could lose them all, including the Clemson game. 28.5 points is a lot to ignore. I've decided not to change any picks. Corso just said Baylor will beat Oklahoma.

SoWal Pick'ems Championship Week's Results
Congratulations to Skunky, kurt, m1a1mg, and me for making 6/10 correct picks and earning 12 points. Skunky grew his 9 point lead and is the Regular Season Champion. The 42? bowl games will create a bowl champ and the sum with the regular season will generate the Grand Champion. A player can start in the bowl games without participation in the regular season. Noon( EST) will present a 4 hour special on the bowl games including the FPS.

2018 had 40 bowls game; 2017 had 42 (I think); 2019 looks like 37. We should know this afternoon who goes where and when.

Congrats to Skunky as the Regular Season Champion. Congrats to Skunky, kurt, m1a1mg, and cnestg8r for getting 12 points. Like I said, after listening to the prognosticators all week, I was 100% sure of all of my picks. Lost Friday night. Corso said twice on ESPN GameDay that Baylor would win. On SuperDogs (for upsets), Howard picked UVA to upset Clemson (wrong), Pollack and Corso picked Miami (OH) to upset Central Michigan (right), and Herbstreit picked UAB to upset FAU (really wrong). On Saturday Selections, they were 50-50 on Baylor-Oklahoma, 75% for LSU, unanimous for Clemson, and 100% for Ohio State. The College Football Selection Show will be on ESPN from 12-4 EDT. Make sure you watch the first thirty minutes.

I really crashed and burned yesterday, badly. But I show I have 6 points, not 4. Baylor and the points topped Oklahoma's score plus LSU and the Ohio State game, nope 4 points. Ohio State did not beat Wisconsin and the spread, rats. Nevermind.
