2018 Big Ten Elimination Pool - Week 8
« on: October 15, 2018, 11:35:16 AM »
Everyone knows the rules by now right?

  • You pick one Big Ten team to win each week, straight up.
  • You cannot pick a team playing an FCS opponent (although that might not be an issue this year?)
  • You cannot pick a team twice over the course of the season
  • If you get wrong wrong, you are out.
  • If you miss a pick, you are out.
  • If everyone is eliminated in the same week, you stay in, but you DO NOT get that pick back.  However if someone is eliminated in that week by failing to make a pick, they do not rejoin.
  • There are 14 teams, and 13 weeks, so if needed, the Big Ten CCG will be Week 14.
  • Picks must be posted prior to kick time listed.

Any questions, let me know.

  • Week 1 - 27 entrants, 0 eliminations
  • Week 2 - 27 entrants, 19 eliminations (17-Purdue, 2-no pick)
  • Week 3 - 8 entrants, 1 elimination (1-no pick)
  • Week 4 - 7 entrants, 0 eliminations
  • Week 5 - 7 entrants, 0 eliminations
  • Week 6 - 7 entrants, 1 elimination (1-Rutgers)
  • Week 7 - 6 entrants, 1 elimination (1-no pick)
  • Week 8 - 5 entrants

You can pick now, but you can't pick Nebraska against an FCS school

I really expect UNL to win ... but who would pick anything other than a middlebelt team versus Rutgers if they still had the chance, so I have to go with Northwestern, especially since the Huskers will have Illinois later this year.

You can't pick teams against FCS opponents.  So I'm going to leave you with Nebraska unless I hear otherwise.

Forgot how Northwestern's plight was potentially having an impact on this game.
