Title: 2019 Big Ten Elimination Pool - Week 1
Post by: ELA on August 27, 2019, 08:59:39 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
• 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 14 weeks, so no worrying about saving a team for the CCG
• Picks must be posted prior to kick time listed.

Any questions, let me know.

Although I seriously considered picking some other team just to get the easy win if they lose and I'm the odd guy out.

Gotta hope Rutgers loses and thins the field. That said, Rutgers still plays Liberty later in the season, so I can use them then. And I have to pick Indiana sometime. I have to figure they can handle Ball State, right?

Liberty will beat Rutgers, this is the only week you can feels semi-safe picking them.

Hate to be a little pooper but Rutgers played and won prior to your pick

You should change your pick to somebody playing today

My mistake. Completely missed that the game had already been played. I will walk away with my head hung in shame.

Purdue eliminated a ton of people last year.  Minimal casualties this year.

Yeah, I knew this week would be nuts, but it's been crazier than planned.  My goal is to get it up tomorrow.
