Saturday treated us to an outstanding bye week of football, punctuated by TBOW and the gang getting throttled by a leprechaun. Elsewhere, UW won the battle of the Pacific northwest's unbeatens, and perhaps more notably for Survivor Pool purposes, Louisville, fresh off a comfortable win over the Irish, somehow got boat-raced by a team that's lost to multiple Big XII also-rans this year. That particular exploding cigar wiped out 20 contestants. Week 7 featured a heavy dose of Penn State, as over 100 players opted to take the lay-up this week, and watched their pick casually cruise to a 63-0 thrashing of UMass. A brief farewell to those who will not be moving forward:
Forgot We Were Doing This (7) - @ADistheGoat , @BennyBam , @INTERSTATEJERRY , @JasonComer65 , @PantherCitySooner , @plancef31 , @Sooner Nick
Unhealthy Love of Liberty (took them two weeks straight) (1) - @shadowhawkvi
Lopped Off By Louisville (20) - @7timenatchamps , @alaina1nonly , @bdubs6291 , @bradymelton6 , @BRC47 , @Chuck298 , @CmdrMerc , @Colorado_Sooner_27 , @Kaiera , @melodicmarc , @nwsoonerfan , @OU Aardvark , @RickBigger , @SKIPinKELLERTX , @Skullomite , @Sooner Butch , @Sooner1015 , @Stevieg22 , @Stuck In Mexas , @Tas5510
So, that takes us down from 291 original contestants down to a much more svelte 124. For those still in it, congrats, you've secured a finish in the top half. Meanwhile, the options are gradually dwindling, as there are now only 11 unbeaten FBS teams to choose from. Of our 124 Survivors, here's how many undefeated teams people have already used:

- 25 - These people are technically "winning", but there's a long way to go, and more shake-ups to come. Of note, 22 of the 25 have used Penn State as their lone undefeated pick.

- 2 - @QuentonLee and @markmcm , I'm reminded of Ron Burgundy remarking to Baxter "...and you ate the whole wheel of cheese? How'd you do that? Actually, I'm not even mad. Amazing."
