Update cuz I"m bored

Hey guys.  Got to work super early and am bored, so I'm filling time with a small update on what happened last week. 

Survivor & Losers Pools

The survivor pool tie breaker for 11th and 12th place was settled when Munez lost.  This means he'll be getting the 1 point and John will be getting 2 points.  Noone else got a strike, so that still leaves us with 5 people with no strikes and 5 people with one strike.

11. John
12. Munez

The losers pool had a little more action. The Steelers ass kicking of the chargers gave Joe his first strike of the season, leaving Shawn as the only person in the loser's pool not to get a strike.  More importantly, Hale got his 2nd strike on the backs of the Steelers dropping him out in 10th place in the losers pool. 

10. Hale
11. Alex
12. Folden

Obviously the benefit for the people out in each pool is that they're doing fine in the other one. 

Fantasy Football

Fantasy went the way of parody in about the best it could last week.  3 of the 4-1 teams lost, leaving just one person at 5-1 (Joe).  2nd-11th place now is differentiated between a bunch of 4-2, 3-3, and 2-4 teams.  Meaning that noone is out of this yet.  Alex even got his first win this past week, and even though it's an uphill battle, two wins in a row would have him at 3-4 and possibly able to make a move.  Here are your week 7 matchups:

Adam 3-3 vs Eplin 3-3
Joe 5-1 vs John 3-3
Hale 4-2 vs Folden 2-4
Jim 2-4 vs Alex 1-5
Munez 4-2 vs Shawn 4-2
Rob 3-3 vs Gary 2-4

Most notably in this is going to be the plight of the three 2-4 teams. A win by Gary, Jim, and Folden this week would push us into a further wide open field. 

College Predictions

I figured I could do a short update on the state of things.  It's really to early in the conference schedules to discount much.  But there are a couple of things.  It's looking like everyone that had Nebraska in the conference championship game are likely to lose out.  The same could be said for people who picked Houston and Iowa, but again it's still to early to be sure.

The College Football Playoff has a little bit more variance though.  It's safe to say that my and Gary's pick of Texas and Alex's pick of Washington are done for.  Obviously everyone's Clemson and Alabama pics are safe, so that's not really a gain for anyone (except for Eplin who left Alabama out of the playoff.)

Most people had some sort of combination of Michigan, Georgia, or some other wild card team in the playoff that already has 1 loss. 

Because of that everyone's already in danger.  The biggest person in danger is Eplin who, although all 4 of his teams are still available (Oregon, Michigan, Clemson, and Georgia), 3 of them are one loss away from being for sure eliminated.

Also, congrats to Rob on having the first correct prediction of the year in college, with Chris Ash from Rutgers already getting his ass fired.

Not much to be said in the pro predictions yet, it's still a few weeks too early. 

Lastly, our week 6 bonus goes to Alex for his combined predictions.  Our bonus for most points goes to Rob and our bonus for most points for a losing team goes to Jim.
