    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    It's on. I wish I had had the courage to pick Colorado to beat Stanford, now it looks like I may have to pick Arizona State to beat Oregon. Choices are slim this week

    What do you think it's like for me? My only option I'm aware of is taking Washington.

    ASU it is. Since both are dreadful, I doubt the visiting team will win, but hope I live to fight another day.

    Yeah, but Arizona lost as well. What does that mean then?

    You didn't take UW? YOU are a better man than I am. I suspect I would have played for the win.

    Oh trust me, I'm not better. I cashed my over 54.5 ticket on the game without hesitation.

    I'm confused. Didn't SocalPat take Uw this week? Looking back, there is no official prediction and there are two semi-serious picks.

    He didn't actually pick UW because he didn't want to pick against the Utes. No rational person would pick Arizona to win. I think he should be declared the winner.

    I hope we do this again in 2017. I like it.

    The season starts Saturday with Oregon St @ Colorado St and Stanford vs. Rice

    Applejack needs to awake from his slumber and set this up for 2017.

    hold your collective horses. The contest will start in week 1, not week zero, simply because there are not enough games this week.

    Go watch the Giants for a week if you are really hard up for contests that have zero impact on the world.

    I'll take Oregon St over CSU.

    This kind of attitude is not the way to secure your year-end bonus. Just sayin'.

    Just jogged my memory over this thread. I appreciate concerned's magnanimous display of sportsmanship. In return, let the record show that we're co-champions of the Survivor Pool for 2016. Let the games begin again!

    Here is the history of the contest:

    2016: Concerned and SoCalPat tie; no consensus national champ.
    2015: Drum'N'Feather
    2014: OrangeUte (there was a half-assed loser's bracket because OrangeUte's victory took a mere six weeks; no word on who won).

    So, when we have the contest the Utes are guaranteed to win 9 games.
