College Football Suicide Pool--Week 1

[CAARHawk]

-You can only pick an FBS team that is playing an FBS team this week.

Dude! You obviously made it way too tough on the people on this board.

Seriously, it is fail, after fail, after fail.

 

[HawkeyeMike23]

It will be easy until week 11 when there are only 6 undefeated teams left and you realize you used three of them in September.

There will still be plenty of crappy 2-8 teams who have proven they are bad, to bet against.

 

[CAARHawk]

Here are the actual games you can pick this week.

Wake @ Cuse
TCU @ Baylor
NW @ BC
Minn @ USC
Oregon @ LSU
Miami @ Maryland.

Anything else doesn't count.

Yeah real tough to follow his directions. Seriously my 3rd grader has had to do things with harder directions.

1) Only can pick a FBS team playing another FBS team
2) The team you pick can't have a loss
3) The team you pick in direction 2 can't be used the rest of the season. So people like Mike used Wisconsin up in week 1 when they might only be 1 of 3 or 4 teams left unbeaten come week 10.

Yes those are hard directions. And I'm not calling you out, I just don't understand how people can't follow 3 basic directions.

 

[CAARHawk]

Wisconsin, this will be too easy using all D-1 teams.

Fail

But those 2-8 teams have to be playing a team that is 10-0 or 11-0 or whatever.

You don't understand the difference between FBS and BCS teams do you?

You left out a lot of games there.

Yeah I missed that part. So if every team has a loss by week 8 this is over? Seems like a silly way to do it.

 

[HawkeyeMike23]

Fail

Which team, Wisconsin or UNLV is not FBS?

Exactly this thing could be over early with a bunch of people still alive in this pool.

Crap. I read that wrong.

FAIL!

SERVES ME RIGHT FOR NOT WORKING.

Last year someone (I can't remember who) did a Big Ten suicide pool. This year, I wanted to open it up and do a pool involving every FBS team. In case you haven't done a suicide pool before, here are the rules:

-Pick a team you think will win this week. For the purposes of this pool "week" will be defined as Tuesday-Monday.

-You can only pick a team that is currently undefeated.

-You can only pick an FBS team that is playing an FBS team this week.

-You can only pick a team once per season.

-If the team you pick wins, you survive to the next week. If necessary, we will pick up to and including Bowl Week to determine a winner

-Picks must be made before the kickoff of the game you picked.

Here are the games you can choose from this week:
North Texas at Florida International
