Survivor Pool Rules

Object

Be the last one who survives by correctly picking one SEC team to win its matchup each week of the 2026 season.

How it works

  • Each week, pick one SEC team you think will win its game.
  • Win → you advance to the next week. Lose → you're eliminated.
  • There are 16 SEC teams but only 14 weeks, so every entry must use a bonus pick in exactly 2 weeks of its choosing.
  • In a bonus week, you pick two teams — both must win, or you're eliminated.
  • A team can only be used once per entry, for the whole season — including bonus picks.
  • Once a game kicks off, that pick is locked and cannot be changed.
  • You can change an unlocked pick as often as you like, including future weeks.
  • Other entries' picks stay hidden until they're locked.

Entries

Up to 2 entries per person. Entry deadline is Saturday, September 5 at 4:00 PM UTC.

Winning

The pool continues until there's one sole survivor. If multiple entries are still alive at the end of the season, they split the pot.
