We're only 3 weeks away!



If you've never played before, this is a fun way to while away the upcoming college football season. In a nutshell, pick one team that hasn't lost yet. If they win you get to pick another team the next week. Lather, rinse, repeat. No prizes, just for fun. By the 8th or ninth week of the season, the number of undefeated teams usually gets down to 10 or 15, so you might want to save the top teams for deeper into the season.


Rules
1)Pick one college FBS (aka Division 1) team per week. (136 choices in week 1!)
2)The team you pick MUST BE UNDEFEATED and PLAYING THIS WEEK.
3)Once you pick a team you MAY NOT PICK THEM AGAIN.
4)If your pick loses you're out. You only advance to the next week if your pick wins.
5)If you fail to pick in a given week, you're out.
6)Last player standing wins.
7)Picks must be posted in that week's thread.
8)If all the undefeated teams lose in a given week or no survivors can advance to the next week, the tie breaker is the player who posted earliest in that week's thread.
9)Each succeeding week, post your pick for that week, as well as those of your previous picks. This helps YOU not to repeat a pick.
10)If you decide to change a pick, don’t edit the original post, just make a new post. I use the last post you make for your pick. This will also affect tie breaker (Rule 8)
11)Be very clear with your pick. Follow the name format of ESPN Conference Standings. (i.e. OSU could be Ohio State, Oklahoma State, or Oregon State)
12)Schedule weeks are per ESPN.
13)Keeping up with your picks is part of the game. If someone picks a team that has a loss or is not playing that week, don't feel it is your civic duty to point out the error of their ways.
14)Pick must be in thread before kickoff of your game.

Here is a link to the Week 1 Schedule:

Tricky bit in week one as 10 teams play twice in “Week 1” (Rule 12). If you pick one of those, you must designate which game, otherwise it will be assumed you’re picking their first game.


Post your Week 1 picks in this thread.



Best of luck, and thanks for playing!

Rigged.

My favorite yearly thread. I have been gone a while and this thread is a big factor in coming back. Here we go!

Week 1: UCF over Bethune-Cookman

Looking forward to this again.

I picked my alma mater too soon last year (Indiana).


Yes, that is a humble brag… of sorts. But we’ve waited 139 years to have something to brag about!



Week 1: Virginia Tech over VMI

I'll play.
LSU over Clemson.
I view it as a win/win situation.
LSU wins, I'm still alive in the pool.
Clemson wins, I'm even happier to seeing ol Lane lose his first game and I'm never tempted to have to pick them in later weeks.

Great! Thanks for putting it together!
