We just had our 5th Sole Survivor of the year. Reason #384 you love the Most Dangerous Game: This week's Sole Survivor was decided by the Niagara/Canisius game.

After being notified of this week's victory, our Sole Survivor shouted, "Nobody goes into the Koessler Athletic Center and comes out alive!" Indeed.

As of right now, we have 19 competitors. As we approach week 10, it comes down to who wants it more. A Kirbs's propensity for underdogs has hurt him in some weeks, but paid off in others. 7-3 this week gives him yet…another…sole survivor title. As the lone person at the top of the weekly standings (no tie for first), he wins another $50 prize. We still have over a month of regular season games, so this is still anyone's championship. We're expecting a few surges to the top as our players buckle down and focus over the last few weeks.

If Upstate NY powerhouses Canisius, Cornell, and Syracuse can go a combined 39-15 against the spread this year, anyone can win this thing.
