Thanks to the generous volunteering of time by Beach Runner and cnestg8r and by popular demand, the picking contest is back in 2011! So far as I know the format will be the same as it has been in years past-I will look for guidelines to be announced by the aformentioned Gator fans soon. Hard to believe this will be year five! Wow! As a reminder, please, we all know half the fun of football is razzing the opponents regarding their shortcomings and expanding team rap sheets-but please try to keep that activity in the NCAA Battlezone thread and keep the picking thread mostly about picking, although discussion regarding picks and performance does add to the picking thread, in my opinion.

With that said, get ready and keep an eye on this thread for the game to hatch! I'm hoping for another great year of SOWAL football funn! GEAUX (insert your team name here)!:cool:



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. Each correct pick earns one point.
6. The winner of the SoWal Pick'em will be the person who has the most points, not the highest percentage of correct picks.
7. 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.
8. 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!:wave:

Just starting to be reported and may include some additional LSU players. Should make the game more interesting against awwwbarn.... If multiple games, will have a bearing against Alabama.....
Feeling much better about picking Auburn to win! Did it say what drugs?

Didn't say...Couldn't have been pot, 'cause messing with grass is ok with Les.... Rumor has it that Honey Badger received a big jar of honey from Cam Newton a few days ago, before the testing....:cool:

Thanks, but I think that's everyone.

EDIT: If cnestg8r doesn't post by 9 AM CDT on Thursday (because he's on Australian time and it's already Thursday at about 1 PM there), we'll use my Thursday picks for him.

I must apologize for the quality of the games picked. I used a very early odds database to get the picks out as soon as possible. Uncharacteristically, they weren't even close to current odds. Therefore, there are too many trivial picks. I am sure you will know which ones.

I'll be back in the states for the next picks. Good luck!

Way to go UCF. Nothing like throwing away the game at the end to a 0-6 team.:bang:

Only Red Dawg, Miss Kitty, and SJ (by default due to his home team rule) picked UAB. I thought all UAB does is heart surgery and kidney transplants, not football? 87.5% of us picked UCF.:idontno:

EDIT: cnestg8r pointed out that DD also picked UAB. So that's 83% of us who lost.

Red Dawg, DD, and Smiling JOe are undefeated going into tonight. I, for one, have ZERO wins. That's why my siggy is an "F" for failboat and "F" for UF and "F" for my name. :bang:
