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.

I missed the first game, but I’ll take Utah State in the next game. I’ll be back later with all the rest.

Here are the results after Saturday's matches. If you picked either LSU or Clemson, you received 2 pts. If you picked both LSU and Clemson, you received 4 pts. Before the semifinal games you picked one of the four CFP teams as national champ. NOW please post a final pick for national champ (LSU or Clemson). It may be different from your earlier pick. IF you don't pick prior the Jan 13th kickoff, I will use your earlier pick. Your earlier pick and this potentially new pick are worth 2 pts each.

These bar charts are awesome. So much more information than raw data.

So, I have a serious question. I do believe LSU is a great team, but have to know do you really believe had they played either Ohio State or Clemson in the first round the score would have been as non competitive as Oklahoma was? I mean, I picked both winners in the respective games but truly think that the Championship game will be anything near a rout that occured with Oklahoma. To say that least a 5 point spread and an over/ under of 60 this will probably be a shoot out.

I believe that seeds 1-3 could win and lose in a best of five round robin. OK was a distant #4, I don't think GA or anyone else stood a chance as a #4 seed. Clemson has a multi-year record of competing despite its SOS. I expect a strong performance from both teams.

Didn't pick Kentucky, but I don't think I will pick against then very often next year.

One more to go. That one result will include your pre-semifinal pick and your final pick.

As an SEC guy it would be easy for me to pick LSU and be satisfied. I have been impressed with both coaches and coach Orgeron has been pretty maligned over the years, but I think Swinney has some experience in this playoff thing that LSU doesn't. I think this will be a heck of a game but in the end I will stick with my original pick of Clemson...

I expect one of the best championship games with both teams playing at a high level. 90% of the time I would be favoring both of these teams and coaches.

After nearly 3,000 picks, another season comes to an end. I wish we would have had 6,000 picks or more.

Congratulations to our REGULAR SEASON Champion : 30A Skunkape (64% correct picks)
We missed you in the Bowls. You would have won it all, just like your Tigers did.

Congratulations to our BOWL Champion: Beach Runner (82% correct picks)

Congratulations to our Grand Champion: kurt (63% correct picks}
I don't recall a Grand Champion that didn't also win at least one of the other titles.
