Big Sky Conference Survivor - 2018

[MTfan4life]

Superman has an FCS wide survivor game and I'm sure BisonTru will have a Valley contest, so I figured I'd start one for the Big Sky. Unlike, the MVFC, this will take place during non-conference play as well, because there are more teams in the conference than weeks of games.

There are 13 teams in the Big Sky and 12 weeks in the season. Each week all you need to do is pick one winner (has to be a Big Sky member). However, once a team is picked, you can't pick that team for the rest of the season. If you survive all the way to the final week, you will have 2 teams to pick one winner from.

If there happens to be a week where everyone remaining is eliminated, the week will be voided and just those people will be allowed to keep picking the following week. Even though the week is voided, they will not be allowed to pick that team again.

Good luck.

Everyone is picking Idaho State. Well, I guess I'll follow the crowd.

Idaho State

[nevadagriz]

Montana State

[MSUBobcat]

Idaho State.

I don't see any alternative to picking ISU this week, unless you don't think they're going to win a game the whole year and this is the team that you leave out.

[MTfan4life]

I will make Idaho State my pick, as well.

Man.... you're looking like some kind of soothsayer.... I would have guessed YOU would be the one out of the game after the first week xlolx Glad you were right tho!

I think Msu can make the playoffs this year. Defense looks good could be great by mid season.
Offense: A running QB is so frustrating and hard to contain for a whole game. The cats wins will be ugly however I think they come out on the right side of more this season.

No clue what to think about WIU I think a few poor throws and a few penalties kept them from a larger lead at halftime.

Warning to all future cat opponents DO NOT LET THEM HANG AROUND!!!!!

[Catbooster]

Nice pick Nevadagriz. I thought we'd win but I wasn't confident enough to use them in this contest. You deserve bonus points for making a ballsy pick.

OK, I'm out. See ya! xwavex

We had a pretty lame spread of total number of pickers, so I might resurrect an alternate challenge for once conference play commences. So, don't give up quite yet!

I like seeing people that think Portland State will win. We haven't won a game in almost two years.

Going against the grain, I'll take Cal Poly.

I hope I am wrong. EWU is a contender for the National Title and we are just a contender to make the playoffs.

[nevadagriz]

Idaho
I mean I have to use them at sometime.

[MTfan4life]

It's risky because of how poorly they played last weekend, but I'm going to have to say Idaho. Their already in shambles fan base might crumble if they lose this one in their Big Sky home opener.

[MSUBobcat]

I'm not in any way saying you're not right. I'm hoping we are able to keep it competitive. But when you can pick other TEAMS man...... xeyebrowx:D

[bobcathpdevil56]

I'll take the Grizzlies.

Yucky that didn't taste good

I'd suggest not going to their message board. It makes eGriz look like a psychologically healthy sanctuary.

Correct!

[MTfan4life]

I didn't catch this before, but UND is not allowed in this separate competition, as per the rules. Sorry for not noticing that, initially. So, technically neither person got it right once again. As penalty, Catbooster loses Weber State and if nevadagriz still wants to participate, you lose Eastern Washington. For that process, I just picked the first team on the standings page not picked by you yet.

Okay.

NAU since they're home.

I've got all of the bottom teams left :(

[Catbooster]

Looks like my pick last week lost and nevadagriz didn't pick - Just in case this is still going on, I'll pick Southern Utah. I don't think any of the teams I have left will win, but this might be my best chance.
