You all know the rules by now.

  • Pick one BIG TEN winner pick week (straight up)
  • Teams playing FCS opponents are ineligible
  • Once you pick a team, you can no longer pick them again
  • If you are wrong, you are eliminated
  • Picks due by the kick of that game, so if you forget to pick, and the noon games have kicked off, you can still pick a later game

WEEK ONE SCHEDULE
  • (Thu) 8:00 - Penn State at Purdue
  • (Thu) 9:00 - NM State at Minnesota
  • (Fri) 7:00 - Western Michigan at Michigan State
  • (Fri) 8:00 - Illinois at Indiana
  • NOON - Colorado State at Michigan
  • NOON - Buffalo at Maryland
  • NOON - Rutgers at Boston College
  • 7:30 - Notre Dame at Ohio State

so starting this week there are 13 weeks and 14 teams so 1 team can be avoided if you cannot find a win for them?

Correct, but the CCG is the tiebreaker if we get there

Damn huge risk.

On the other hand, how many times have we lost all but like 2 or 3 people because everybody took the easy pick, an it was logical since said team had few other guarantees the rest of the year?  

Think Purdue at Nevada was one (they were up like 17 and had tripled them in yards, so of course they found a way to lose.)  Rutgers and maybe IL were others.

I'll go MSU in wk 1 even thought they are favored by less.

Also @ELA (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=55) , in week 2 please mark me down for Indiana  assuming Mel's Boys don't F up. I will be out of town, most all of week, a lot of it away from anything that transmits signals.

Minnesota lost to BG to eliminate me last year.  I want to get them off my plate as early as possible this time.
