Ok college football fans, it's almost that time of year again. Some have already asked if there is going to be a pick'em again this year. Comment here if you plan on playing this year. All are welcome to play. This is my 2nd year of being moderator over the pick'em, along with help from BR, whose husband will pick games for us again this year. Thanks to both of you. Here are the rules for this years pick'em, these are the same as last year with one addition.
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.
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.
Happy picking!
Lady D

beats on hood
Lady D remembered that in the past, we changed the deadline for picking Thursday and Friday nights to 6 PM CDT/CST (unless of course a game starts before then like it did one Thursday this season). That way if you're busy with work, you can just pick Thursday's game on Thursday, Friday's game on Friday, then do your picks for Saturday before 9 AM CDT/CST on Saturday (unless there is a 7:30 AM CDT game as there was earlier in the season). So we'll continue that tradition.

As disappointed as I am that my Vols fell today to Georgia they played with a lot of heart to lose only 35-32 at Georgia. We have a young team, 22 freshmen. I feel we could have won the game if Peterman had made a better handoff I think to Marlon Lane. Had the ball around the GA 25 yard line.

You have to know you'll at least beat my Gamecocks. Everyone else is.

I don't know about that. If we don't find a way to lose ourselves the refs help that happen. Our guys should not have been penalized 15 yards starting out in the second half for celebrating at the end of the first half on a sack, this was out of bounds. Ridiculous. Don't see that called in other conferences ever that I've seen and don't see that called on any other SEC team hardly ever, if ever.

KC/NE game 14-0, looking like last nights Romo's Renaissance
Are Brees' Bees and Brady Bunch just in our rear view mirror?
( injuries and a few key plays down the road will decide things...)
In college, QB " versatility" ( run, pass, option) and far less at stake
BUT, College or NFL, they almost all get 3-5 years....

These first 5 weeks have all been tough otherwise I would have done better the first two weeks, and the next 3 weeks I haven't done that great, 8, 9, and 9 correct. I need 3 or 4 weeks of way more correct than that to catch up.
