2015 NCAA Football Survival Pool Week 1 thread

First, a tip of the cap to last year's winner BoykinLP, 2013 winner Smokindog, 2012 winner RYNO, and the 2011 winner BaldEagle1313. You too could have your name live on in football immortality like our past champions!

This is the official thread for Week 1.

Post your week 1 selections in this thread.

First game of the season starts on Thursday September 3, 2015.

These are the rules for Survival Pool.


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.
5) If you don't pick (as in missing a week) you're out.
6) Your pick must be posted before the game you're picking kicks off.
7) Last player standing wins.
8) Ties (last standing players) will be broken by posting total points scored in the game in the final week with their pick.
9) Picks must be posted in that weeks thread.
10) Managing your picks is part of the game. I will not tell you who you have picked.
*11) With your pick post a prediction for the total number of points scored in that game. (We won't start this until we're down to the last 6 or 8 players. I will let you know when this rule kicks in.)
12) If all the undefeated teams lose in a given week or no survivors can advance to the next week rule 11 serves as the tie breaker (if no survivors can advance ties will be broken first among those with a winning team in the current week and then among those with a losing team if no one has a winning team).
13) Each succeeding week post your pick for that week as well as those of your previous picks.
14) As moderator of the pool I will settle all disputes.

Example for Rule #13:

Week 1: Penn State
Week 2: Oklahoma
Week 3: South Carolina
Week 4: Indiana

Week 8: Oklahoma State (74)

Schedule is here: NCAAF College Football Schedule - 2015 NCAAF Schedule



Happy to entertain questions.
Good Luck!

Week 1 Miami (Fl)


If you've never played before, the idea is to pick a different undefeated team each week. If they win, you survive til the next week. As the season goes along, the list of undefeated teams to pick from dwindles. Choose carefully so you have someone to pick from later in the game. Newcomers welcome!!!
Zero investment and most importantly, Zero payout!!!

Week 1: Illinois

With all the coaching turmoil going on, I should probably change my pick, but I am going to stick with it chancing an early exit.

Its not too late to jump in the pool! Last chance is Monday @ about 7:05 CDT when the last game of week 1 kicks off. Then the pool is closed for the season. After that, we're just trying to survive the longest.
 
Week 2 thread will be posted tomorrow.
See rule 9.
