Survivor Pool:
There have been a few developments since Rob won the Survivor pool in week 3 & Gary lost the Survivor pool in week 2.
Munez & Kemp are now elminated, having ate a big bowl of shit served to them by Brock Osweiler & the Dolphins in week 6.
I ate that same bowl of shit, but that was only my first strike. Jim has also gotten a first strike, picking Tennessee in week 5. John has one strike too, having made the interesting decision to chose noone in week 7.
That puts Kemp & Munez tied for 10th, which would give them 2.5 points each toward their overall score. Here how the Survivor Pool looks right now, by points.
Rob 12
Everyone else ?
Kemp 2.5
Munez 2.5
Gary 1
I've extended the Survivor Pool season through the playoffs.
Losers Pool
After 7 weeks, John & Rob are still sitting without a loss. They've both used nearly the same teams up to this point, with Rob having used Oakland & John using Seattle. When looking down the list of teams used throughout all of us, most of have used the bad teams up to this point.
This means that we should start to see some heads rolling in the next couple of weeks.
Standings in the losers pool based off of points
Rob, John, Joe, Munez 12-9 (however they finish)
Everyone else 8-3
Gary 2
Kemp 1
rest to be determined.
Pro Pick'em
In the final stages of Rob's dominance we'll move onto the Pro Pick'em
After 7 weeks Rob is holding a slim lead for first place. He's holding out with 53 with me right behind him at 52. Munez in 3rd at 51.
After that there's a slight drop to Shawn, Gary, Hale, and Folden, until we get down to the bottom where Eplin is hanging tight at 37.
Lots of season left to go, but for those back by double digit's maybe time to hunker down and start making some better picks.
College Pick 'em
The College Pick'em is still ruled by Kemp as it has been all year. Kemp has a 2 game lead over Munez, before it opens up a little.
There are 6 points seperating the McLanes & Kemp, and Folden & Gary are right below them.
Only 5 games seperate 3rd thru 9th though, so there's going to be lots of movement.
Fantasy Football
Seven games into the season and it's a little wild this year. Here are your standings.
Shawn 6-1
Adam 5-2
Joe 5-2
Folden 5-2
Hale 4-3
Munez 4-3
Rob 4-3
Gary 3-4
Jim 2-5
Eplin 2-5
John 2-5
A few notes.
1. Shawn is in 1st place in the league despite being 7th in pts scored. This is because he has had 50 less points scored against him all year then any other team.
2. Hale is 4-3 despite scoring 70 more points then anyone else in the league.
3. Folden has the league's longest winning streak at 4 games.
4. Jim is 2-5 after starting 0-5, and scoring the 5th most points in teh league this year.
There's a 4-3 team in Rob who is currently out of the playoffs. Gary is one game out of the playoffs at this point, which isn't bad considering he's been starting 2 Redskins rb's most games this season.
After that there is a drop off to three 2-5 teams, meaning that with 6 games to play, there isn't a ton of room for these teams to mess up before they are out of the playoff hunt.
Kemp is pretty much done at 0-7. Will just want to jockey for position for points at this point.
This is our week 8 schedule and the potential fall out.
Joe 5-2 vs Eplin 2-5
Folden 5-2 vs John 2-5
Hale 4-3 vs Jim 2-5
These three games have similar story lines. The 2-5 teams are trying to gain some ground. They each need to it against pretty strong teams. If all 3 of the 2-5 teams were to win, then we'd have a much more interesting 2nd half of the season.
Gary 3-4 vs Kemp 0-7
This one is Kemp playing spoiler. Gary could potentially go 4-4 without Leveon Bell playing a down, and Rob Gronkowski having a pretty lackluster season. Not bad when those are his top 2 draft picks.
Shawn 6-1 vs Adam 5-2
This game pretty much will decide who is in 1st place come next week. With a win, Shawn puts himself as a near certainty for the playoffs. With a win, I would go to 6-2, and Shawn could drop down as far as 4th. Shawn's only in any real danger if he were to lose 3 in a row. His points for aren't going to win him any tiebreakers at this point.
Rob 4-3 vs Munez 4-3
This game is interesting, because the loser will fall to 4-4 in 7th place. If Gary wins, and if any of the 2-5 teams win, that will make one more team closer to the out of the playoff teams to jump.
Bonus Points
So, here's a key on bonus points that have been won this season so far.
1 point for highest point total weekly in fantasy
0.5 point for highest losing score
1 point for winning the combined pro and college pick'em
1 point for having 4 fantasy wins.
1 point for surviving losers pool
Here what each person has.
| Adam | 3 |
| Jim | 1.5 |
| Folden | 4 |
| Shawn | 1 |
| Joe | 4 |
| Rob | 3.5 |
| Gary | 1.5 |
| Hale | 4 |
| Eplin | 1 |
| Kemp | 3.5 |
| John | 2 |
| Munez | 6.5 |
You can discern the order that each person is in from that.
So, what does this really mean. I mean really? Not a whole lot of information is out yet. And, as opposed to most years, where we have a rolling point total and everything gets turned upside down in November, in this case we're just sort of watching and waiting.
I'd love to go into detail about how each person has gotten their point total so I'm out of time for now at work. I have it on a spread sheet, let me know if you want to see it.
I'll try to get another one in two weeks. Talk college football for the stretch run.
