Pac-12 Survivor Pool: Week 5

[Applejack]

Last week:

Utah - OrangeUte
Oregon - Midnight Shift
Colorado - Applejack, SoCal
Oregon St - Scorcho, Brian

For the second straight week, the only person eliminated failed to make a pick. This week's shame goes to LAUte.

We are now entering Pac-12 country. Only Midnight Shift has used a "loser" pick, on Washington State. Everyone else has a clean slate of losers. Here's the link to the master schedule: http://www.utahby5.com/showthread.php?1525-Pac-12-Survivor-Pool-Official-Thread.

Didn't want to take Utah this early, but it still represents Utah's biggest "lock" game for some time, and half the field can't pick this game anyway. Utah it is.

[Scorcho]

I'm going with the safest pick.

Those T-Rex Armed Cal Golden Bears.

I seriously thought I had picked Arizona. I guess I just zoned out. Sorry, guys, to remove a feared competitor from the game.

[midnight shift]

This is getting tougher every week. I will have to go with Cal.

There's no shame in quitting.

[Applejack]

I'm taking Utah. I actually think the Cal-Colorado game is a better pick, but I don't think Utah will be favored again until Week 13.

Yeah, but Cal may never be favored again. And if you have to be stuck picking an underdog some week, wouldn't you prefer that underdog to be the Utes?

Fair point. I mostly want to keep Colorado in my loser column. Wazzu is going to surprise somebody (like USC last year). Colorado isn't.

Also, Cal might be good this year. They really should have beat Arizona on Saturday. Plus, they have a slightly easier schedule between now and Week 12 (UW and UCLA at home).

Picks this week

Utah - Applejack, SoCalPat
Cal - Scorcho, Midnight Shift

Undecided - Brian, OrangeUte

I didn't mean to quit. I don't think I actually did. But for the good of the board I will accept the outcome and decline to call for an investigation.

The six posters who are reading this thread should take note: "undecided" has been the only loser the past two weeks.

[OrangeUte]

I take Cal.

[Brian]

Golden Bears, please.

[Applejack]

OK, we're set

Utah - Applejack, SoCalPat
Cal - Scorcho, Midnight Shift, OrangeUte, Brian


Go Buffs!

To hell with this damn contest.

[OrangeUte]

I love this game.
