OUI Survivor Pool - Week 9

SlicedBread · Oct 23, 2023

For a third consecutive week, an unexpected upset violently stirred the waters of the OUI Survivor Pool. In Week 6, Mario Cristobal took down 27 contestants with baffling game mismanagement, while Week 7 saw Louisville get waxed by a pedestrian Pitt team and take 20 survivors down with it. Week 8, though, saw a single team take out a season-high 42 contestants, as North Carolina found a way to lose (at home, no less) to Virginia, a team that hadn't secured an FBS victory since last October.

A brief salute to the eliminated:

Let's assess where that leaves us. There are 9 unbeaten FBS teams left to choose from. Meanwhile, our initial group of 291 contestants is down to just 80. Congrats to the remaining survivors for hanging in this long. Of the 80 of you left, here's how many unbeaten teams you've already used:
