Survival game--play here
Elimination (or Survival) game: Its that time again so lets get started. Each week you pick ONE SEC team to win. Its that simple. There are no points, no spreads. Just pick the winner. HOWEVER in the following weeks you can not re-use a team. So if you pick FL to win in week 1 then you can not use FL in week 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 etc. If you pick Alabama in week 2 you can not use FL or Bama in weeks 3 or 4 or 5 or 6. Note that you are not required to pick intraconference games so you can pick UK to beat Western, but you can't pick Western to beat UK as your pick must be an SEC school. If the team you pick loses then you get a strike. Three strikes and you are out of the game. This game requires you to play from week one (and if you miss a week you get an automatic strike) or take a strike. The last person standing wins. As we get later in the year I might modify the game a bit to get to a single overall winner but fear not, after about 5 weeks it gets hard and by week 10 I don't expect too many to be surviving. We may do a redux midway thru the year if we get lots of folks flunking out early.

Re: Survival game--play here
Id like to get in but realize I may have to take the loss for this round. Not a problem for me.
If not I would pick UF at this point.
Been busy Doc and I forgot about the game, sorry.

Was that a comment on Kentucky, or Doc's comment? I'm confused (and ill). Originally Posted by MickintheHam

Re: Survival game--play here
I noticed that 4 players have put in their picks, all four being week one winners. Wonder if those who didn't do so well last week aren't waiting to see where the smart money goes
