College Football Suicide Pool--Week 12

[thejumper5]

In week 11, we had 4 participants eliminated:

IARai8er	Oregon
sporty1704	Oregon
thejumper5	Oregon
pin2win	No Pick

That means that there are now 38 participants left, a huge number for this time of year. I expect that number to fall dramatically soon, but I've been saying that for several weeks.

Here are the matchups to choose from this week:

Wednesday:
Ball State at Northern Illinois (7 CST)

Saturday:
Ohio State at Illinois (11 AM CST)
Syracuse at Florida State (2:30 CST)
Alabama at Mississippi State (6 CST)
Texas Tech vs. Baylor (In Dallas--6 CST)

As always, 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.

Here's a list of the remaining participants and the number of the remaining participants they have already picked. Small numbers are good, and big numbers are bad. Also, having chosen all 6 undefeated already, HawkeyeCamaro is out of teams to pick and will almost certainly be eliminated.

For Week 12, I go with the only choice I have: Ohio State.

May as well make my Week 13 pick, which shall be my last: Fresno State.

Frankly, if it didn't possibly affect Iowa's bowl placement, I'd wish for O$U to get knocked out this week and be able to "cancel" next week's Fresno State pick.

 

[okeefe4prez]

I'll go with OSU this week.

[greghammel]

Thank You for running this Suicide Pool! It has been an enjoyable time. W1 - Wisconsin W2 - Oklahoma State W3 - Northwestern W4 - UCLA W5 - Missouri W6 - Louisville W7 - Northern Illinois W8 - Ohio State W9 - Florida State W10 - Fresno State W11 - Baylor WEEK 12 - ALABAMA and then I am out of teams... reached the end of my rope... what a way to go!

 

[thejumper5]

Just a note to those who ran out of teams after week 11 or will run out after week 12:

In the (quite unlikely) event that every team that is chosen this week loses, no one will successfully advance to week 13, and everyone who made it through week 11 unscathed would be eligible for the tie-breaker.

 

[MNHawkeye89]

Week 12: Alabama

End of the line ...
