Survivor Pool 2026 - Week 9

[MeetTheFerentzes]

Hello, players.

Well, it was an awfully rough weekend for the Hawks, but we've got our own game to finish.

With the Thursday night overtime loss by James Madison and the shocking Saturday upsets of BYU and Texas Tech, we are down to 12 Survivors and 3 undefeated teams.

However, of the 12 Survivors, 2 are out of picks and 8 are stuck with a single choice. That leaves 2 players in control of the game (KuwaitHawk and Burkyanon), each having a choice of 2 teams this week, with a chance to extend the game.

The Sheet is linked below, as usual. I've already given everyone their picks other than our two players with a choice to make.

Good luck (and may the Hawks recover against Wisky....)

If those players who only have UCLA left, shouldn't they make it 'official' by selecting UCLA as in the past weeks, players who did not make a pick were eliminated. What if UCLA wins (most likely) and Burkyanon pick and my pick lose, that makes anybody who picked UCLA the co-winners without officially picking UCLA, Am I wrong?

Idk and I hate to be the one to tell you this, but since the other games have kicked off I can safely do so. You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia. But only slightly less well known is this: never pick the same team you picked last week.
