The FOX Fantasy Team is challenging all to try and beat them in three FOX Fantasy Football contests this season.
Survivor football: Pick ONE winner, survive and advance to the next week. You can only pick that team ONCE all season long. So do your Survivor homework and create a strategy ahead of time. Plus, as a bonus, FOX Survivor gives you three mulligans and you remain prize eligible.
College football pick 'em: Same as pro football pick 'em. You're picking winners!
If we live in a world where Dak Prescott's preseason debut can be lauded as Pro Bowl caliber and a trade involving Dorial Green-Beckham can be overanalyzed for a news cycle, then we can sure have some fun picking winners the first eight weeks of the pro football survivor schedule.
Here are three versions of my first eight weeks as of right now:
For some loose context, here are the top three entries path to perfect picks in the 2015 FOX Sports Pro Football Survivor contest.
The savvy slate of pickers kept some of the big dogs for late and picked on the lower-tier squads based on matchup early on in the season.
Think you can beat these guys in Pro Pick'Em, Survivor and College Pick'Em?

Greatest Pick ‘Em Accomplishment: "It was March Madness 2001 and the internet was still kicking the tires on bracket challenge games. Well, I kicked the tires on about 30 national bracket contests per year back then. I had to create a document to remind myself all the different website brackets I had filled out.
Fast-forward to the Final Four and National Championship and my bracket finished second … in the nation. Won a $500 gift card to … wait for it … Tower Records.
Among the compact discs purchased, Beatles and Janet Jackson as well as the DVD “Nothing But Trouble” staring Chevy Chase and Tupac."
It was robbed of an Academy Award that year.

Greatest Pick ‘Em Accomplishment: “Back in 2013, I had the best NFL pick 'em record of ANY network or website analyst, according to nflpickwatch.com. THE BEST, Jerry!”
D.J. Foster – West Coast Representation
Greatest Pick ‘Em Accomplishment: “Anytime I picked the Browns to win? No, no.
I was a massive John Stockton fan growing up. So, I was probably the only person to have Gonzaga advance to the Elite 8 in 1999, the Sweet 16 in '00, etc. Nevermind that I always had them winning the championship...”

Greatest Pick ‘Em Accomplishment: - “When I was a 2009 Pro Football Survivor Pool champion! There was a four-way tie through Week 16. During the final week, we had to pick in typical fashion in addition to the winner of NINE other games in case of a tie. I was 10-for-10 that week and won.”
