It’s time to get started with our sixth year of the Sooner Survivor Series - the annual Big 12 Survivor Pool.
The rules are simple:
---As there are only 10 Big 12 teams we always spend the end of the year filling out the regular season schedule. Well, to keep me from hating my life while filling out 500+ winners (until my upset comes in) we’re going to do it in reverse. The first four weeks will be picking ONE winner from three hand picked games around college football. You don’t need to pick the winner of each, you simply pick the winner of ONE of the three games. If you’re right, you advance, if you’re wrong, your season ends early.
---Starting in week five, you’ll pick one Big 12 team each week that you think will win that week's game. If you team wins, you advance to the next week. When a team you picked loses, you are eliminated from the competition. Remember you ARE NOTpicking against the spread, these are straight up win/lose scenarios.
---Once you've picked a school, you cannot pick them again the rest of the season. This means you have to pick carefully and assess for things like bye weeks, matchups, etc.
---There are no byes for participants. In other words, you have to pick a team every single week. You have to watch later in the season to make sure you have a team to pick every week, because if you get into a situation where every team you have left is on a bye week and can't pick a team, you'll unfortunately be eliminated.
---Also, you MUST have your picks in before the first game on the docket (it will always be the first game listed below).
--- If anyone (or multiple people) can make it all the way through 14 weeks without losing, we'll use the bowl weeks as tie-breakers.
If anyone has any other questions, please feel free to write them below!
And now, here are the options for Week One.
Every Big 12 team is playing this week so the entire league is fair game. Remember, once you pick a team, you can't pick them again the rest of the season. And when you pick a losing team, you're out. Good luck to everyone!
