We're off to a fast start in my NCAA football survivor pool and it's going to go fast as each team's schedule gets harder and harder to predict as the season goes on. We lost nearly a sixth of our pool in the first week and I expect that more will be knocked out this week. Will you be able to survive and move on to another week?
There is 100 SCR on the line, so make sure you're confident in your pick and that you make your selection before the deadline, which will once again be Friday at 11:59 PM CDT. The pick post will be published on Wednesday along with all of the eligible games, so if you are still alive in the pool, visit my profile later in the week to find that post.
Here are the results from week 1 along with who got knocked out.

Rules Reminder
#1. Pick one team each week (from the eligible games) before the deadline and comment below the contest post. Ex: "I choose Alabama"
#2. Once you pick a team once, you cannot pick them for the rest of the season.
#3. One entry per person, no curation or generic channels can play.
#4. You must select a team each week. If you miss a week, you will be eliminated. I will try to post these earlier in the week in the future (on Wednesdays or Thursdays).
#5. Keep it fun!
Good luck this week and thanks again for playing!
