2024 NCAA Football Survival Pool...Week 2
One picker, Redhookbklyn, failed to survive the first week. Thanks for playing, please come back next August.
To all the rest, your task this, (and every) week is to pick an unbeaten team that's playing this week, and post it in the weekly thread.
Best of luck!

Post your week 2 picks in this thread.

Just for reference, I'll repost the rules:

Rules
1) Pick one college FBS team per week.
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.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Yes, as long as it is on the ESPN FBS Schedule. You are welcome to pick the FCS to upset, but there has to be an FBS team playing.

Good question!


You mention you can pick the FCS to upset. Is it acceptable to pick the FBS team to win over FCS instead? Per the rules we have to pick an FBS team, so I assume this is fine?
The reply saying we could pick an FCS team to win was confusing, to me at least, since it would fail rule 1.
