I would like to organize a friendly little football contest as I know there is at least a modest amount of interest regarding this topic. All you have to do is pick the winners of the week's upcoming games that I post. Each correct pick earns one point;there is no penalty for incorrect guesses. I will keep a tally of everyone's points as the season progresses. Picks must be posted on the board BEFORE KICKOFF (duh), or they will not count. The SOWALer with the most points at the end of the year wins a, hmmm, not sure about that, but isn't glory reward enough?! Now get picking!

WEEK 1 NCAA Football-Deadline to submit picks is 5PM central Thursday August 30

LSU at Mississippi State

Georgia Tech at Notre Dame

Tennessee at California

Kansas State at Auburn

Florida State at Clemson

Copy and past the schedule in your response and highlight your winner!
For example, here are my picks:

LSU at Mississippi State

Georgia Tech at Notre Dame

Tennessee at California

Kansas State at Auburn

Florida State at Clemson

OSU fans scoop up Mountaineers gear

Buckeyes faithful fully back team that upset Michigan

Hours after the defeat, at least one street vendor was doing brisk business selling freshly minted Mountaineers T-shirts near the Ohio State campus. Local stores say they've been swamped with requests for similar gear.

Just hope I'm right on most of them. I started to pick South Carolina over Georgia, even at Georgia. They have Spurrier as their coach, and he did alot with Florida and has improved South Carolina some. Thought about changing it last night but didn't. All would be nice, but not likely. I would have chosen Miami Hurricanes at one point had I not seen many of their games last season and how poorly they played in some of them. Even though they did pull out their bowl game, they still fired Larry Coker.

Um...did anyone hear the reference to Phead's fraternity on Gameday. They said it's a big day in Auburn when the Velcro Pygmies were at the Figi house on Friday and the Supper Club on Saturday.

WDE, even though "nobody's counting":roll:

CP, Neyland Stadium is one tough place to play, a sea of nearly 107,000 orange screaming fans. However, it is pay per view only and I cannot see spending $30 to watch that game. I would if it were a game that was going to be an actual challenge. ;-) Sure we played Southern Miss back in 2000 and barely beat them but that was not in Knoxville. Will have to settle for listening on the radio. We have cable on both of our tv's but I can only get the pay per view off of the one tv in the living room with the DVR and my husband will be sitting in here watching things tonight after he gets home from work so that is out of the question. I don't know the reasoning for carrying some of the games like that on pay per view only. And in the Sowal NCAA pick'em I was thinking long and hard about the Oregon and Michigan game. I kept thinking I should pick Oregon as I have watched alot of their games and know how well they can play. But I went with Michigan and they are being picked apart by Oregon. I knew I should have gone the other way. :bang:
