Survivor Blow Up

Well well well...Thanks to the Saints I got my wish.  We got some fucking movement on the Survivor Pool.  Four eliminations:  to Shawn, Jim, Eplin, and Joe, knocks the Survivor Pool down from 9 to 5.  Per usual, the Saints fuck the chicken on it, getting blown out to the Falcons when they were 13 point favorites.

This leaves Gary and Rob as the only two people without a strike.  Me, Hale, and Alex are still alive with a strike a piece.

Shawn, Jim, Eplin, and Joe will be fighting it out for the 4 to 7 point range of things.

The Losers Pool was even nuttier.  Literally everyone lost.  Shawn got his first strike, and that was good enough to finish in 1st place for the year, netting him 12 points in the overall standings.  Everyone else, Rob, Joe, Eplin, Munez, Me, Gary, will be fighting for the 11 to 6 point boost.   Congrats to Shawn.

College Football Predictions:

I was able to get a much better look at how things are able to play out this week.  I'm going to be sending this as a link through facebook so you can follow along.

The color coding is pretty simple.  If it's in Green it is confirmed, if it's in yellow it's unlikley to occur, and if it's in Red it won't occur.

The only predictions to come 100% accurate so far are Folden's Willie Taggart fired prediction and Rob's Chris Ash fired prediction.  I want to hgihlight a coupel of places where people are looking good.

In the Big 12 a lot of people went Texas this year.  With only a few games left Oklahoma is looking poised to repeat.  This benefits Joe, Rob, Munez, Eplin, Alex, John, Hale,and Folden.

Somehow I was the only person pick either Ohio St or Minnesota to make the big 10 title game.  This would be a huge boost for me, if Ohio State were to play Minnesota and beat them.


The AAC is looking very much like UCF won't be winning that.  This is a big boost to Voyten, Hale, and Rob who have Memphis.

5 people took Georgia winning the SEC this year.  I'm unsure if this will happen, as it's looking increasingly like Alabama won't be in the SEC championship.  LSU has 3 conference games left and would need to lose 2 of them for Bama to get into that game.

Alex, Munez, and Folden are the only ones hurt by Washington's fall off this year, Oregona nd Utah are fairly split between the rest of us.

At this point, almost everyone's picks are still in the running.  Outside of anyone who chose Texas or Michigan.  Otherwise everyone's picks are all still in the running.

Fantasy Football

Technically, I guess, Eplin and Gary aren't eliminated mathematically yet.  But, let's presume they're chances of making it in this are so small that we'll leave them out of discussion until we see a win or two.

Let's also assume that Joe, Shawn, and Hale are in the playoffs.  All three are at 7-3 and have a 3 game lead over the 7th place team. 

Today we'll focus on teams 4-10

Folden 4-6 vs Rob 6-4
Jim 4-6 vs Shawn 7-3
Alex 4-6 vs Eplin 3-7
John 4-6 vs Hale 7-3
Munez 6-4 vs Joe 7-3
Adam 5-5 vs Gary 3-7


So, the only game between teams that are still fighting is between Rob and Folden.  Like half of Folden's team is either on bye or hurt, so let's sea how this goes.  I mean the guy's receiving core is Curits Samuel, Cole Beasley, and N'Keal Harry, a guy I've literally never heard of.  These are either the most savvy plays of all time or Folden's just fucked. 

Otherwise, Alex has fought back from a 0-5 start to win 4 out of his last 5 getting up to 7th place and being a win and a lose from me away from being in the playoff picture.  He has a 50 piont lead on me in points for hte tie breaker.  If he loses the Folden, Jim, and John all could tie me with a win this weekend and a loss by me.  It's most likely I would keep my point tie breaker over each of them unless I did absolutely nothing. 

If Folden, Jim, Alex, John, Joe and Gary were to win though that would cause some craziness. 4-10 would all be seperated by 1 game.  We'll likely endu p somewhere in between.

That's it for this week.
