****4th Annual CFB Survivor Series Challenge DRAFT Official Thread****

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the 2025 College Football SoundOff Survivor Series Challenge Draft!!!

Before we begin, a couple of quick reminders about the Draft rules:

- This is an open draft. That doesn't mean that there isn't a time limit. The Draft officially ends at 11:59 pm on Wednesday, August 27th. I'm not gonna pressure people to be ready at all times to make your picks, however, as we get closer to the deadline, if the picks are slowing down, I will implement a 10 hour timer; after which if you have not made your pick yet, you will default draft whichever team is the "next best available" on the official draft list that will be provided below.

- Speaking of, I will provide a link to the CBS All-136 Preseason CFB Rankings, and this will serve as the official default list/guide for the draft. You can use this list to help you decide on which team to draft, or do your own research. I also want to clarify that you have the option to default to "nba" (next best available) for all your picks, if you really want to. That means when your turn comes up, which ever is the next highest-ranked team remaining on the poll, that will automatically be your pick, and we'll proceed on to the next player.

- All players will take turns drafting ONE team each round, in a snake-style draft.

- There will be SIX rounds to this year's draft. We have 10 participants, so we'll bump the number of teams per player up from 5 to 6.

- I will have Draft threads running on both the SoundOff Board and on the 5th Qtr forum, so I will make sure to update both when a pick is made.

- If you have any other questions as the draft is going, don't hesitate to ask.

@Jennerpeach Rod chose Texas, I chose Alabama... it's your turn.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

With the 3rd pick in the 2025 CFB SoundOff Survivor Series Challenge Draft, Jennerpeach auto-drafts the Penn State Nittany Lions

With the 4th pick, I select the Ohio State Buckeyes.


That means @Tenn"cock is now on the clock.

 

[Tenn"cock]

I pick Georgia Bulldogs.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

unihawk, over on the CFB SoundOff Board, is now on the clock.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

unihawk selects the Oregon Ducks

Golden Buckeye Card picks the Clemson Tigers

mikeinknoxville is now on the clock.

@batchaps4me is on deck.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

mikeinknoxville selects the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.


@batchaps4me is on the clock.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

@Hard2Bluff is on deck for the next two picks. The final pick of the 1st Rd and the first pick of the 2nd Rd.

 

[Hard2Bluff]

LSU, AZ St, @batchaps4me you are next

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

LSU, AZ St, @batchaps4me you are next

Just to be clear, @batchaps4me is the one on the clock right now, and your picks would count after his.

 

[batchaps4me]

I pick the Miami Hurricanes.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

I pick the Miami Hurricanes.

@Hard2Bluff will get LSU for the final pick of the 1st Rd, and Arizona State with the first pick of the 2nd Rd.

That brings us back to you for the second pick of Round 2, as we work back snake style in the Draft.

 

[batchaps4me]

And Utah Utes.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

@Tenn"cock is now on the clock in the 2nd Rd

 

[Tenn"cock]

South Carolina Gamecocks!

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

We're up to the 8th pick in Round 2. Waiting on Jennerpeach.

After that, @AlaCrimsonTide and Rod Dangerfield are waiting on deck to close out the round.

 

[batchaps4me]

IMHO mikeinknoxville won round one. Notre Dame has probably the highest floor at 1 regular season loss as the team/schedule stands now.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

@Tenn"cock is now on the clock.

Draft board has been updated.
