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:

Cnestg8r doesn't have time to post because he's been so busy with work (good busy:D). He said to post for his picks the same teams that i picked. I'd copy and paste mine but I'm on a Blackberry with a really bad signal.

Whew, what a game between Missouri and Arizona State. A 37-30 won for Arizona State in overtime.

Lady D, I fell asleep! Long day. Happy to see that I am 1 for 1.

But that's not necessarily a good omen. That's the way I started out last week, and then I crashed and burned.

OK, now I'm a unhappy camper. Because of people not wanting games with point spreads I have missed the VA. Tech game by going with ECU. I would have had a point for that game if those games had been left alone as East Carolina scored 10 points and that plus the 20.5 point spread would have been more than the 17 points scored by VA. Tech of course. Just had to grumble.

In a pool with a bunch of numbskulls like us it is nice to have stoopid easy picks so we can feel better about ourselves when we get a few right. :biggrin:

Having what you call stupid easy picks so you can feel better about yourself doesn't always work. You can still miss a lot.

As a TN fan who went to Auburn, let me suggest that we don't take this pick 'em to serious.... or lest we become Alabama fans....

Reason there needs to be games with points, half on here finished the same. I like the competition of this so to me there's nothing wrong with taking this serious. I have in a fun way every year and I've played it from the first year they started it.

Glad my son is still atop. Getting 12 out of 15 did not help me at all.

I believe it did, you are in a three way tie for 6th. That is in the top ten, you could easily move to the top from where you are at.

Depends on how I do from here on out. You know how I usually do the first couple of weeks.

Hey CP, I sent you a PM this morning when I saw your post. I was trying to think if anyone was missing. It's not too late. You can start with week 3. BTW, ready for week 3. Hope they will be up soon.
