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!

Southern Comfort, poured directly on the floor. My effort wasn't worthy of a glass. Not even a dirty one.

Reminds me of one of my college history professors: he would hand out the tests & say, "this is a pretty easy test. I took it & made a C."

OMG...
Looks like-another week for The Roadies!
Tried to be logical about this...first tried to think of famous movies with the word HOME in the title...pretty much went blank after HomeAlone
Next, what about famous movies with the word ROAD in them?
TobaccoRoad
RoadTrip
TheRoadWarrior
RoadHouse
RoadToPerdition
Revolutionary Road
I mean,you want McCauley Caulkin on your team when the going gets rough...
Or would you prefer a bunch of real men like Patrick Swayze,Paul Newman, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mel Gibson, and guys like that kicking' a** and taking names in the 4th quarter????
( BAC is taking the baddest dudes he can find!)
VA TECH
SYRACUSE
IOWA
BAYLOR
DUKE ( the exception, in honor of THE GREAT ONE...John Wayne...just sounds Macho, even!)
UCLA
CLEMSON
TEXAS A+M , +12.5
GEORGIA
GEORGIA TECH
MISSOURI
NEBRASKA
KENTUCKY +9.5
NOTRE DAME +12.5
STANFORD
Heck, even Bob Hope and Bing Crosby get a shout-out for their Road-to-here, Road-to-there movies!!!
Good luck to all, but looking like another week of The Roadies puttin-a-whuppin' on the homies...
Bac at ya' next week!
