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:

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

I dunno. I put in the data into an Excel spreadsheet independently of hubby. We will double-check the entries in the AM. He went to bed early because he is sad about the Gators.

I know what sad is. Look at the Vols game today. Had chances to win that game. All it would have taken is a TD when they had the ball at the 8. At least they get to go to a bowl game.

Lady D, you are right that Red Dawg picked both FSU and UF. Maybe hubby pointed this out to Red Dawg. I will ask him in the AM.

My opinion is that if someone picks both teams in a particular game, s/he forfeits both.

I would think so. Shame that wasn't seen before the games started today. Hopefully your hubby did notice it.

Hubby is an executive for a corporation in Australia. He does the pick'ems for fun. If someone messes up his/her picks, it is not his fault. Stuff happens.

Didn't mean that. It is the posters boo boo if they do that and don't pay attention.

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.

You are so glass half empty, LadyD-look at it like we ALL won.

Well Skunky. I did kind of think of it that way last night. Did not expect the winning margins of both to be the same.

Happy Sunday, everyone. This week I will be posting the picks because Cnestg8r has been dispatched down under to be a celebrity tasting judge at a notable vegemite festival. These kind of things go down in areas where there is no electricity, so he will be away from the computer for a few days;have no fear, I will not be calculating standings on a piece of paper as I did in season one (!), just posting picks.

Yes, I did. As poorly as I have picked the last couple of weeks, figured I needed a little extra help. Sorry!

:floor: Vegemite. People actually eat that stuff. His host actually eats vegemite and toast every AM for brekkie. It is an acquired taste. You have to start off by drinking motor oil, and then your taste buds develop an appreciation for the gastronomical pleasures of vegemite.
