Maybe you shouldn't have copied my paper.

I knew I could count on Arkansas to break OSU's nine-game losing streak against the SEC. It should have been the Madhatter in NOLA. Crazy and Nola go together better than cochon and sucre.

Go LSU!
Can't believe I'm saying this as a Tulane grad, but an LSU win adds to SEC cred.
Jinx. TAMU just returned the ball for 69 yards on the first play.
EDIT: TAMU TD. No celebration penalty.:roll: LSU players-- get serious!

12 picked KY, 11 picked Pitt. If KY wins, FL Dawg will be alone in first for the bowls. If Pitt wins and Oregon wins, IRIS has a clean sweep.

How come I'm still showing 14 after today's game? I went with Pitt. I had 14 after the LSU game last night I think.

Lady D - you are right. BR and I just went through all 805 bowl picks to check them and found two errors. One yours and the other for bamabeachbum. Both of you get one more bowl win and will be reflected in the next post. Thanks.

I'm sure there must be at least 7 errors on my picks could you make that adjustment?

Thanks to Skunky for starting Pick'ems. With over 1,000 posts this year and 5,000 the previous years, it is certainly popular.
Thanks to Skunky for the lead picks this season and to BR for all her help.
Assuming this continues next year, perhaps someone has an itch to pick the games and keep the books? Don't be shy.
Happy New Year to all. We WILL do better this year.

Thanks to you cnestg8r and congratulations to all the Bowl Game Winners. Last night was a great game. The score did not show how good AU really played.
This post is truly a fun one to read throughout the football season. It will be missed. Until next fall.....

Congratulations to Iris, PearlsB4U, and cnestg8r for being winners. Thanks to Skunky for starting this thread and for all of his help with the picks. Thanks to all of the players who make the pick'ems so much fun. Finally thank you cnestg8r for all of the work you do to create the Excel worksheets and Visual Basic macros to record and analyze the data.
This has really been a funn season for the pick'ems with all of the close games and also watching Iris get so many picks correct (just amazing).

Oh, shucks, it was nothin'...actually, I could have won if I'd picked against my Bulldogs a few times.
