Pick a guaranteed winner each week. If your team loses your out. Once you pick a team you can no longer pick them for the remainder of the playoffs.
Place your picks in this thread, and I'll update the results after the each week's games.

Question: since we can't recycle teams what happens if two teams we use in the earlier rounds happen to make the finals? Say I use JSU in round 2 and NDSU in round 3 and both teams make it to Frisco. What then? Does that count as an elimination?

Yep. That's part of the game/strategy. Pick winners, but save teams for future rounds. Example = if you think the Gamecocks win it all, you should save them for your final week submission.

The trick to the pool is that you can only pick a team once for the duration of the playoffs. It's not that only four people thought UR would beat A&T, it's that four people knew UR would get past the Aggies but probably not North Dakota.
Also, I picked Wofford. xthumbsupx The field is wide open for me.

If you guys had Lauletta you would have gotten a lot more picks. Losing a starting QB of Kyle's caliber im sure made a lot of people nervous picking the spiders.
