Playoff Survivor Pool

[BisonTru]

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.

Yep. If you run out of teams to choose from you're eliminated.

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 Redbirds have gotten a couple picks I believe. But yeah the other two games everyone is avoiding with a ten foot poll.

Changing mine to YoungstownRules don't say anything about changing your pick, but I feel it's going to be a headache for the guy putting this together if people are allowed to switch.

IMO, pick once and pick wisely

So the key is to go with teams you think will lose in the next round.

In general yeah. There's some strategy involved but in its simplest form don't pick a loser and don't run out of teams to pick.

This first round should be the easiest, but just a quick rundown so far.

Cal Poly - 66
Villanova - 26
Chattanooga - 10
Youngstown St - 8
Richmond - 4
Illinois St - 3
Wofford - 1
St. Francis - 1
Charleston S - 1
NC A&T - 1

I'll still take picks till the first kickoff today.

Glad I picked Chatty, figured it would be the only one they won:D

[JSUSoutherner]

If Cal Poly loses about 67.5% of participants will have been eliminated today.

[jmu007]

Woot for picking Richmond. =)

I'm not too worried about Poly yet. Halftime should let them adjust to conditions, that last drive wasn't bad considering.

HOW did only 4 ppl pick us?? The MEAC is not good and we are definite underdogs next week. We were the obvious pick. I think we are going to lose every week and even i was confident today!

[Libertine]

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.

but that's what i meant. i know how it works. After today, against whom are you picking us with confidence?

Fair point. Maybe they just didn't want to jump on the (possibly-doomed) CP bandwagon.

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.
