College Football Suicide Pool: Week 1

thejumper5 said:
We're less 3 weeks away from the start of college football season, which means it is time to begin the annual College Football Suicide Pool. All are welcome to join in, just post your pick in this thread. Last year we had more than 120 participants, and I would love if we had more this year. 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 Labor Day will be the final day of week 1, and "week" will be defined as Tuesday-Monday after that.

-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.

-Reread the last two rules. They caused the most problems last year.

-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.

Looks like we've already lost some folks thanks to Temple's win over Vanderbilt and Rutgers win over Washington State.

Lot of interesting issues with both of those games. Tulsa and Tulane were similar. I have to say this is the hardest first week I can remember. Usually you see more diversity in picks, but there are just a lot you want to stay away from until you see the teams on the field TAMU and USC is a prime example.

That being said, that WSU/Rutgers game was fun.
