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

I'm crashing and burning again this week. Something positive needs to happen with the rest of todays games from New Mexico State on.
SoWal InsiderAuthor
These 65-0 and 73-7 scores are ridiculous. Is it really necessary to run up that kind of score on teams that are 0-2 and 1-1 and are not Division 1 material? Sure it gives your team a W but you've gained nothing. Won't help your ranking. I remember Tennessee's coach not letting them run scores up like that in ball games, meaning Phillip Fulmer.

I went with BYU but it still didn't help me since Va. Tech beat Ohio State. I imagine I finished 5-10. Need to hurry up and get to all the better games where the good picks are so I can try to get back on track. Just not in to it as much as I should be. And that is my problem.
