Survival game--play here

[kingcat]

I like the anticipation of outcomes getting crazy which starts to happen about this time off the season..

[MickintheHam]

Hail State! Hate to pick against the Samford Bulldogs, but MSU it is.

I expect TN to be the fan favorite this week.

[Darrell KSR]

I'll go with your recommendation, Doc--Vol fan for a week (not really--I'd rather lose).

[kingcat]

I'll take Ole Miss.

[Lfbj00]

Tennessee

[MickintheHam]

It just kills me: I'll take the Tennessee Volunteers for the win.

[Catfan73]

Looks like I'm screwed next week no matter what I do this week.

Tennessee

[SalsaKat]

Woof. Tennessee should be the surefire bet but man, they are having some trying times. While that's good for us, potentially, next week it makes it tougher this week. My other pick would be Ole Miss but they're not exactly lighting it up and neither one affects future weeks for me so it's a tough call.

I'm going to go Tennessee, but I'mma hafta pray on it and maybe come back and change it if the spirit moves me.

[SalsaKat]

Also, Doc, I had another thought: what if we were required to make our picks according to real-world scheduling principles? Like, you may pick a maximum of 5 non-SEC games (since we're playing 13 weeks instead of 12) and a maximum of 1 FCS game. Once you've played your FCS pick you are not allowed another, and once you've played your 5 out-of-conference games you may only pick SEC games from there on. Of course the rule of not reusing teams would apply as well.

Of course, I realize that might be too much to manage, keeping track of that for every player, but I think it would be a fun balance of difficulty as well as forcing everyone to think ahead. And it wouldn't run into the problem of weeks where there are no SEC games, or only one or two where everyone would be forced to make the same picks.

It would be difficult but not impossible. Maybe limit the out of conference to the first couple weeks but then I like the idea of people having to take a risk here and there. I think double plays are going to be in, whether it players choice or one designated week is to be determined.

Ole Miss

[truecatsfan]

MS

[Doc]

all in, either MS or TN

[Yeager49]

I'll take Alabama for the next week over Miss St

[Catfan73]

Guess for week 11 I'll take Georgia :/. At least they're at home.

[Darrell KSR]

Alabama over Miss. State for me also.

[Doc]

Sorry, running behind!

Running out of options, especially with the East being so unpredictable, so I guess I have to burn my back-pocket bonus card: Alabama

I probably should take Florida. Picking SC as my SUP pick means they're likely to lose by 3 TD now.

[Darrell KSR]

No worries, Doc. Plus every time you post, I get a smile in seeing the two hot babes, and remember one of my favorite movies of all-time, so it's all good. (Yeah, I'm pretty surface level, WYSIWYG.)

[MickintheHam]

I will take Aubie over UGa. for week 11.
