First, a tip of the virtual cap to last year's winner GADawg11. As far as I know, he has successfully fulfilled his duties and obligations as 2013SHNCAAFSP Champion and has not sullied the coveted (virtual) crown. Congratulations on not succumbing to the weighty pressure and responsibility!

This is not the official thread for Week 1.

Official Survival Pool for Week 1 is already posted. First game of the season is on Wednesday August 27, 2014. Post your week 1 selections in that thread.



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)
