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:

You're right. Thursday's games aren't due until Thursday at 9 AM CST. I just know that everyone's gonna be busy in the AM and didn't want any regulars to forget. I've got y'all's (love that word) backs.:wave:

Yeah, when my mailbox gets full, I just download everything as text to my laptop and then delete so I remember what I said in PMs. :lol:

Texas A & M was totally pathetic in the second half last night, Tannyhill if I remember threw 4 picks at least in the second half. And other passes were dropped that should have been caught. Looks like Louisville is heading the same direction. Not seeing much effort out of them. I know they are better than that.

Changing Pick

The previous ruling on the FSU/UF game has been challenged.

After future review, the previous call has been overturned.

Change my choice from Florida to FSU.

I would rather Florida win since they are an SEC team.

Arkansas sure gave up in the game agsint LSU. I thought the winning margin would be close, not end up being a blowout. Don't think the Penn State/Wisconsin game will have a bigger winning margin than that but who knows.

Arizona St. is such an inept team. I've never seen more stupid plays than they've done tonight. Total idiots. They deserve to lose.

Hey, where is everyone? Shopping, I'll bet. Hint: Online is much more efficient. And you don't get pepper-sprayed.

I picked UGA, but I am so far behind in the pick'ems that it would be great if GT won! Go Jackets!

I'm watching Tennessee go nowhere but backward in this game. Two turnovers, no score. Had a chance at a touchdown and was near the 8 yd line of Kentucky only to use someone as QB that did not know what to do, don't control the snap and lose the ball. Idiots. Don't understand why they are not playing Justin Worley as QB? Bray has done nothing. The Vols are done.

Lady D. Will Dooley get another year? Sad to see what Kiffin (scum) did to the Vols...

Don't know Arkiehawg. He might but who knows. Just didn't understand some of their decisions in this game.

Join the club, Lady D. It hurts when you care a lot about college football and your team gets an F.

I think they should have put Justin Worley in to play some. He had some confidence the 5 or 6 games he started while Bray was out and did a fair job. He might have got them a winning TD.

Just watched the WI/Penn State game! Vegas sure got that spread wrong! 14.5 per Vegas, 38 per reality!

Well, no one gets the bonus point for the largest winning margin between Ms. State/Ole Miss and the Bama/Auburn game. Both margins were 28 points.

Did I see things right or did Red Dawg pick both Florida State and Florida in their pick?
