Thread: Pac-12 Survivor Pool: 2019

    Pac-12 Survivor Pool: 2019

    Welcome back! It's football time! And another season means another chance for you to enter and lose this contest with no discernible prize! Good luck!

    The rules are the same as every year:
    1. Every week you have to pick one Pac-12 team to win against an FBS opponent. Do so be replying to this thread.
    2. You can not select that same team again during the year.
    3. Also, you cannot pick against the same team to lose again during the year. (For example, if you select our Utes over the Cougars in week 1, you can't choose USC over BYU in week 3 or Washington over BYU in week 4).
    4. Once you choose a game incorrectly, you are banished from the contest.
    5. To win, you must be the only person to correctly predict a game during a week.

    OK, now that the legal stuff is out of the way, let's get down to it.

    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.

    I am boycotting this thread because I am really bad at this and don't understand the rules anyway. I say this with love in my heart.

    Fine. Your admission to not understanding basic legal rule analysis suffices as an excuse.

    I do enjoy the score prediction competition. Those rules are simple enough for me to bother understanding. I'm saying this with love in my heart still.
