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

It appears those of us who went with South Carolina should have gone with A & M. Figured since Johnny Football was gone the game would go the other way.

There are a few absolute truths in life. Knowing that the Gamecocks will fail miserably when you really start to believe is one of the main ones.

We moved here from Houston, so we have lots of Aggie friends, damn they looked good last night. The Red Bowl is going to be a good one this year.

No doubt that the Aggies looked good. But don't bet the farm. It may well have been how bad my Gamecocks looked. They were out of position damn near every snap.

Kenny the real deal Hill. The Cocks secondary is thin, I think you are going to see a lot of passing yards against them. The good news is that Clowney is a beast, the Texans defense looks damn good.

I just couldn't watch the entire South Carolina. Very disappointed in them. No defense. ATM's quarterback looked awesome. Went to bed early and got a great night's sleep instead of watching football.

Where are the experts who picked A&M over SCAR or Temple over Vandy? That's why they play 'em!

That's what I asked Paul Finebaum on SEC Network yesterday.

I haven't seen Cocks beat that hard since junior high!
Actually as a student at South Carolina, I bought a bumper sticker to saying "You can't beat our C****" at the university bookstore. Never put it on my car.

I tell y'all, I am doing terribly! So far I've only gotten 2 games correct out of 7. Ameliaj was winning at of the end of Friday with 5 right out of 7.

Also I think we'll need to change some deadlines. I don't ever remember a game starting on Thursday at 6 EDT or Saturday at 8:30 AM EDT.

I've seen much worse than that in my time there.

Dang! The Gator game is about 2.5 hours late starting due to weather. Argh!

EDIT: One play. Lightning again at 9:55 EDT. They can't resume it for two hours by the rules. Midnight is the last time a game can start. Argh to the argh!

We have never had a perfect pick week. Please note that I came close this week while losing 11 of the first 13 games.

Most pickers had an easy time of it.

Oh well, the Gators didn't loose.
