Big XII MBB Survivor - Week 1
- Thread starter isu_oak
- Start date
stateofmind sent me a PM stating he intended to pick KSU over OSU, meaning he is eliminated. It's amazing there are still honest people on the internet. :smile:

I'm not going to do this every weekend due to traveling, but I thought I'd put it together for this week. The game is still open if people want to join, although you may not get the 2-win bonus point.

Ha. Just saw ISUCyclones2015 picked TCU over Kansas State. That takes a hefty pair of balls.
One could argue the opposite. TCU is undefeated and is receiving votes in both the AP and Coaches Poll.
As I said, TCU is undefeated, but they have the lowest SOS (351st) in D1. KSU has lost 6 games, but only 1 of those losses is to a team with an RPI below 100. Might be a pretty close game.
I just said that because a) he's the only one who picked TCU and b) nobody really knows how good TCU is. Recent years, they've been terrible. However they were expected to be better this year, it's just that nobody knows how much better they'll be.
I completely understand where you are coming from. To me, KSU and TCU are both still unproven after the non-conference games...for opposite reasons.
You would still be in the game with the WVU loss, just out the 2-win bonus point. You only have to win the "must-win" game. Myself and 3 others who picked WVU to beat TCU as our "must-win" game would be eliminated.
Hey, I like this....thanks for the spreadsheet! I downloaded the full conf. schedule from Big12Sports.com and I am looking ahead.....I would suggest starting a new thread each week after the Wed. games....
I am in the running for the 2 pt. bonus...I picked Texas to beat Tech on Sat...One bonus point for Texas winning on the road, and now maybe Texas can beat OU in Austin...
I am all pumped now!

Only 1 gone right now. Will have at least 1 more gone after Wednesday's TCU v KSU matchup.
You're added to the list, but will be ineligible for the "2 wins in 1 week" bonus point.
The magic in the game comes from the fact that I cannot pick against Tech in Week 2, or you cannot pick your winner the again in the following week....Answer me this question...Will any of us hard core Clone fans pick against ISU to keep you in the game? Like, who would pick KU to beat ISU in Lawrence?
Pretty sure me picking against Iowa St will not effect their performance. And I definitely wouldn't care if I was eliminated from a message board game, if it meant Iowa St winning
I'll start a new thread Wednesday night or Thursday morning with the results of Week 1 and the games to choose from for Week 2.
